Gloucefterfhire, the county I have juft 
paffed, is famous for its fine cheelfe. The 
Jand is chiefly in pafturage, and much of 
it occupied by a good breed of milch 
cows; a contiderable portion of it is, 
however, ufed in breeding and feeding 
fheep. The eaftern parts of this county 
are hilly, the weftern very woody, andthe 
middle part rather level than otherwife ; 
extremely fertile, and watered with the 
Severn. ‘The arable land feems to be 
nearly all inclofed, and that not lately ; 
fields, within my obfervation, were {mall 
and wregular.

SIR; 
a ety correfpondent M. R. in your 
laft Magazine, having replied to my 
ob{ervations, I once more addrefs you. 
“The text, “I was not known usato them b 
the name Fehovah,” I formerly faid, does 
not fignify, that the Ifraclites knew not. 
the name, but that they knew not the 
thing it implied in God’s promife to 
Abraham, in a degree fo eminent as they 
were abouttodo. Iwas not knowm is, in 
the Septuagint, sx ednrwore, I did not mani - 
’ fet. Ladded, that the mode of {peech is 
not uncommon in the fcriptures and other 
writings. I fuppofed M. R. might rea- 
dily fupply himfelf with numerous tefti- 
monies to fuch qualified ule of  {peech. 
See Plalm ci. 4. Jerem.ix. 3. Ezek. xx. 
Matth. vii. 23. Thefe may be fufficient 
examples to the purpofe, refpeéting only 
the word know: many other words are 
frequently to be met with under a fimilar 
predicament. The diftortion of meaning 
attaches to M.R. Words and phrafes 
are to be taken as ufe and conneétion de- 
termine, and’ not always literally, or in 
one invariable meaning. J continue f{a- 
tisfied that the Jewith doStors under- 
ftood Fehowah to be a name of the re- 
Jation induced by the Mofaic covenant : 
and return him his requeft to examine 
them. * Several places in fcripture feem 
clearly to imply, that the name bears 
fuch relation, as he may fee by attentive 
reading. By another perfon on the fame, 
ufing the fignature M.R. page 247, of 
our laft Magazine, my affertion is con- 
firmed. ‘* Buxtorf?; Hebrew Lexicon’? I 
ave not an opportuuity of confulting ; 
nor fhould I depend on it: JI know that 
feveral writers of later ages, and fome 
moderns, have underftood the word as a 
Name of Fehovah...Lmetics in Refufcitation, 
425 
name of effence, finifying /elf-exiffence, 
&c. but not fo the more ancient. The 
name Yehowab was probably (I fay no 
more) afiumed by God, or given to him 
foon after tie fall, on his promife of the 
woman’s feed who fhould bruife the fer- 
pent’s head. It is certain that Mofes 
reprefents Eveasufing the word. Butin 
application to Abraham and his defcend- 
ants, it received an import peculiar to 
them ; and it may further be applied, 
with the greateit propriety, to the faints 
of all kindreds and denominations. All 
this J have endeavoured to elucidate ina 
note annexed to ** The Sy/tem,”’ a poem, 
intended for publication. Io your latter 
corre{pondent’s enquiry, Whether the 
names he mentions were not firff applied 
to adivinity of Chaldea, Syria, or Egypt, 
I anfwer, that as far as I know they 
were ever applied to any divinity at all, 
hut the God of the Hebrews. In fome 
heathen writers he may find fome of thele | 
names applied to him; I think never to 
any others. It cannot be doubted, that 
in Chaldea, Syria, and Egypt, and at 
much greater diftances from Judea, the 
God of the Hebrews and his Hebrew 
name were known.

SIR, 
OUR laft number contains a com- 
munication by a Mr. Brown, in 
which a fubjeét of the utmoft importance 
is confidered, viz. how far the exhibition 
of emetics is expedient in cafés of fufpend- 
ed animation. Mr. B. acknowledges that 
he is much. prejudiced in favour of 
their ufe, not from experience, but, as he 
fays, for the mott obvious reafons, which 
he prefently explains. 
Now, Sir, when a gentleman profeffes 
hinfelf fo warmly attached to a parti- 
cular mode of treatment, in cafes claim- 
ing the aid of the refufcitative art, and 
when this attachment is not founded 
either in his own experience of its good 
effects or that of others; the time may 
not be mifpent which fhall be employed 
to examine thofe obvious reafons by which 
Mr. B. confiders himfelf as warranted in 
the
