A LETTER, &c.
REV. SIR,
One of those good-natured friends with which the world abounds, took an early opportunity of conveying to my hands a copy of your Address to Lord Teignmouth as President of the British and Foreign Bible Society; and I can really assume you, that its effect upon my nerves was almost as great as that which his Lordship’s circular letter produced upon yours. “The emotions of my mind,” too, “upon the receipt of it, were such as I am not inclined, for several reasons, to describe.” [1]
