« A Critical Hiftory of the Life of David ; in which the

Dr. Chandler was a man of very extenfive learning and 
eminent abilities; his apprehenlion was quick and his 
judgment penetrating; he had a warm and vigorous ima¬ 
gination ; he was a very inltruCtive and animated preach¬ 
er ; and his talents in the pulpit and as a writer procured 
him very great and general eiteeni, not only among the 
diffenters, but among large numbers of the eltablilhed 
church. He was principally inftrumental in the ellablifh- 
ment of the fund for relieving the widows and orphans 
of poor Proteltant diffenting .minifters: the plan of it 
was firft formed by him ; and it was by his interefl and 
application to his friends that many of the fubfcriptions 
for its fupport were procured. In 1768, four volumes of 
his fermons were publifhed by Dr. Ambry, according to 
his own directions in his lalt will; and in 1777 his Para- 
phrafe and Notes on the Epiftles of St. Paul to the Gala¬ 
tians and Ephefians; together with a critical and prac¬ 
tical Commentary on the two Epiftles of St. Paul to the 
Theffalonians.

of the empire, bounded on the eaft by that of Pe-tche-li,, 
on the fouth by Ho-non, on the weft by Chen-fi, and on 
the north by the great wall. The Chinefe fay, that the 
firft inhabitants of China fixed their refidence in this pro¬ 
vince. Its climate is healthy and agreeable, and the foil 
is fruitful. It abounds in mulk, porphyry, marble, lapis- 
lazuli, and jafper of various colours: iron-mines, lalt- 
pits, and cryftal, are alfo common here. This province 
is full of mountains; fome of which are uninhabited, 
and have a wild and frightful appearance; but the reft 
are cultivated with care, and cut into terraces from top 
to bottom, which prefent a very agreeable profpedl; on 
the tops of fome there are found vaft plains, which are no 
lefs fertile than the richeft low lands. Vines grow here, 
which produce the belt grapes in this part of Afia : good 
wine might be made from them; but the Chinefe prefer 
drying them, and felling them in the other provinces. 
The mountains abound in coal, which the inhabitants 
pound, and having mixed with water, form into fmall 
cakes ; it is not very inflammable, but, when once kind¬ 
led, affords a ftrong and lulling fire. Chan-li comprehends 
in its diftribt five cities of the firft clafs, and eighty-five 
of the fecond and third. The capital of the province is 
called Tai-yuen-fou.

Ho-nan, on the fouth by Liang-nan, on the eaft by the 
Eaftern Sea, and on the north by the fame and part of 
Pe-tche-li. It is divided into fix diftriFts, which contain 
fix cities of the firft clafs, and one hundred and fourteen 
of the fecond and third. Befides thefe, there are found along 
the coaft fifteen or lixteen forts, feveral villages of con- 
fiderable note on account of their commerce, and a num¬ 
ber of fmall iflands, the greater part of which have har¬ 
bours very convenient for the Cliinefejunks, which eafily 
pafs from thence to Corea or Leao-tong. Befides the 
grand imperial canal, which traverfes this province, it 
contains a great many lakes, ftreams, and rivers, which 
contribute no lefs to the ornament than fecundity of its 
plains ; however, it has much to fear from drought, as 
it feldom rains here. Locufts, alfo, make fometimes 
great devaluation. There is no country, perhaps, where 
game is more plentiful, or where phealants, partridges, 
and quails, are fold cheaper. Befides common filk-worms, 
there is found in this province a fpecies of in left much 
refembling our caterpillars, which produce indeed, a 
coarfer kind of filk, but of which much ftronger fluffs 
are made; as thefe fluffs are very durable, they have an 
extenfive fale throughout China. Tfi-nan-fou is the 
capital.
