THEOLOGY AND ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS. 
LXIX. An Appeal to the Right Reverend the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of 
England. 8vo. pp. 16. 
A POMPOUS and angry declamation 
against those upon whom anger and re- 
buke are wasted, the Editors of the 
Anti-Jacobin Review, who, it appears, 
**have recommended their co-adjutors 
and friends to a place on the august and 
nerable bench” of bishops. Not pro- 
ing the nu us mstances they have 
ed of corrupt criticism, lax mora 
nd unsound theology, nor expa- 
g upon the abuse they have poured 
upon the administration or their coun- 
try, and upon many of the ministers of 
religion, the author grounds his charge 
against them, upon a favourable review, 
which they have published of a work, in 
which it is proposed, that subscription 
to the articles of the church of England 
shall be abolished; and in one paragraph 
of which, the whole body of the English 
clergy is involved in deep and indiscri- 
minate censure! We cannot think that 
there is any reason to apprehend, that 
the recommendation of such persons can 
have any influence upon the minds of 
our spiritual rulers. 
LXX. A general Epistle of Brotherly Admonition and Counsel, to the People called 
Quakers, in Great Britain, Ireland and America, issued at the Time of the Yearly Meeting 
in London, Anno 1803; on behalf of sundry Brethren concerned for the religious Improver 
ment of that Society. 
IN a full belief of that divine call 
and assistance which formerly attend- 
ed many of his predecessors, the author 
wishes to excite the society of friends to 
the recollection of past examples, and to 
engage their attention to the genuine 
concerns of the christian religion, p. 4. 
Generally speaking, Mr. Freeman con- 
siders the forefathers of the present 
quakers, as believers in the simple unity 
of God, and the divine mission of the 
Great Prophet of Nazareth. In this re- 
spect, he recommends an imitation of 
their example, but he regards them as 
mistaken upon the subject of tythes; and 
wishes every opposition, in itself, not 
consistent with the laws of the land, to

be laid aside. He objects to the doctrine 
of eternal torments; to the predominant 
feeble ministry of females; and recom- 
mends a greater degree of attention to 
the classical and religious education of 
their young men. He also censures 
many parts of the present discipline, as 
hastening the decay, rather than admi- 
nistering to the support of a society, 
which he seems to consider as in a state 
of declension. 
This little tract will be read with plea- 
sure, by those who feel any interest in 
observing the progress of religious en- 
quiry, and the revolutions in religious 
opinion.
