s upon those who do not come exactly up to their standard. In the following year Mr. Taylor published, with his name, a sequel to this publication, entitled A further Defence of the Common Rights of Christians; entering at greater length into the argument to prove the sufficiency and perfection of Scripture, as the rule of faith without the aid of human creeds, confessions, &c. This Tract has been lately republished, and may be found in the Catalogue of the unitarian Association. In 1740 appeared the first edition of his celebrated work on original sin. This is the performance by which the author is chiefly known as a controversial theologian; and it entitles him, in that capacity, to a high and distinguished rank. It is admitted, by common consent, to be a treatise of great learning and ability, and is referred to by both parties as a standard work. It is divided into three parts; in the first of which all those places of Scripture which do expressly speak of the consequen

duty for several years to come. Considerable light is thrown upon the school fund at this time. In 1727 it was itemized as follows:— Lovell's Island, let to William Walters (?), £ 17. School lot, let to Timothy Wright, £ 5. Salt marsh (on Malden side), let to Joseph Frost, £ 1. 10. Money at interest, £ 357. 10. 0., with income of £ 21. 9. 0. A school lot in first division,—amount not given. Soheegan farm,—not valued. Land adjoining the schoolhouse,—not valued. In 1740 the free school income amounted to £ 71.4. 0. （Frothingham.) In 1748 these funds amounted to £ 1,857, Sowhegum farm having been sold for £ 1,500, and the annual income from this is £ 180. 10. 0. From the following entries it will be seen that the selectmen assumed authority over private schools: 1727, Mr. John Stevens, student at the college, is allowed to keep a Private school in the town for writing & ciphering.

Blaney in 1741, and was a widow in 1746. Solomon was a joiner, married Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham Hill. He died in 1740-42, leaving a widow and three children, Solomon, Elizabeth, and Martha. Betty Phips, who supplies the Briches and Stocker, Edward Lutwyche, came from Radnor, in Wales, and married, in 1727, Thankful Parmiter, who died in 1734. He retired in 1740 to a fine farm of 160 acres in Hopkinton, and died there in 1747. There were two McCartys in Charlestown at the period under review, James and John, and in 1740 Thomas Maccurdy, a stranger, was buried at the town's expense. Of Doch Perkins we find no trace. The only men of the name in Charlestown then were shoemakers and blacksmiths, descendants of Abraham Perkihard Hall, of Dorchester. She died in 1716, and Joseph married (2) Hannah, daughter of Joseph and Hannah Easterbrook. In 1740 Mr. Frost, with his family, removed to Sherburn.

journey to New York, to attend a meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society. Let those who condemn the creed of these men see to it that they do not fall behind them in practical righteousness and faithfulness to the convictions of duty. Samuel Hopkins, who gave his name to the religious system in question, was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, in 1721. In his fifteenth year he was placed under the care of a neighboring clergyman, preparatory for college, which he entered about a year after. In 1740, the celebrated Whitefield visited New Haven, and awakened there, as elsewhere, serious inquiry on religious subjects. He was followed the succeeding spring by Gilbert Tennent, the New Jersey revivalist, a stirring and powerful preacher. A great change took place in the college. All the phenomena which President Edwards has described in his account of the Northampton awakening were reproduced among the students. The excellent David Brainard, then a member of the college, visited Hopkins i

lave, who in the language of Georgia and North Carolina, died of moderate correction, has been repealed. But, although the letter of the law is changed, its practice remains the same. In proof of this, I would refer to Brockenborough and Holmes' Virginia Cases, p. 258. In Georgia and North Carolina the murder of a slave is tolerated and justified by law, provided that in the opinion of the court he died of moderate correction In South Carolina the following clause of a law enacted in 1740 is still in force If any slave shall suffer in his life, limbs, or members, when no white person shall be present, or being present shall neglect or refuse to give evidence concerning the same, in every such case the owner or other person who shall have the care and government of the slave shall be deemed and taken to be guilty of such offence; unless such owner or other person can make the contrary appear by good and sufficient evidence, or shall by his own oath clear and exculpate himse

This was the noted Ammi R. Cutter, young and stoned gratis, and the boards and shingles carted from Sudbury and Billerica free of charge to me. Probably about 1740, common snakes were so abundant and annoying, that the farmers met, and appointed a day for a general snakehunt and extermy, which he had plundered on his retreat at the battle of Lexington. The Rev. Samuel Cooke's house, which was built in 1740, and removed in 1871, was used as a hospital for the American forces after this period, as is evident from the resolve of by Rev. Mr. Cooke.

To free schools and colleges the periodical press had been added, and newspapers began their office in America as the ministers to curiosity and the guides and organs of opinion. On the twenty-fourth day of April, in 1704, the Boston News-Letter, the first ever published on the western continent, saw the light in the metropolis of New England. In 1719, it obtained a rival at Boston, and was imitated at Philadelphia In 1740, the number of newspapers in the English Chap.
