extended personal observation and inquiry, in many dif 

 ferent countries among the followers of the Greek 

 Church in Russia, of the Lutheran Churches in Scan 

 dinavia and Northern Germany, and of the Romish 

 Churches in Southern Europe that, in the maintenance 

 of sound doctrine and pure morals among their clergy, 

 a discipline so fearless, energetic, and open, is nowhere 

 exercised as by the public courts of the Presbyterian 

 Churches of Great Britain, whether Established or Free. 

 A curious case of the change from Trinitarian to 

 Unitarian doctrine in a church is presented by what is 

 called the King s Chapel in Boston. This chapel, which 

 was originally of the Church of England, in consequence, 

 I suppose, of some endowments, still retains something 

 of the form of the Episcopal service. It has a Liturgy, 

 which is shortened and altered from that of the Church 

 of England, and from which everything Trinitarian is 

 excluded. The manner in which this is done, and some 

 thing of the shade of doctrine which the congregation 

 professes, may be gathered from the changes made in a 

 part of the Te Deum. The first and last parts remain 

 without alteration ; but the middle portion, in which the 

 Saviour is addressed, is changed as follows :
