GENTLEMEN,

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TO CORRESPONDENTS. June 21, 1810. LOOKING the other day into your xxxiiid vol. I found a note at page 393, in which you fay that " you know not on what authority the incomparable tract, entitled The Trial of the Witnelles of the Refurrection of Jefus, has been usually attributed to Sherlock, afterwards Bishop of London."'

That this excellent prelate may not be deprived of his just claim to the incomparable performance, I fend you an evidence which muft, I think, be confidered as conclufive. In 1747, Abraham Le Moine, Rector of Everley, in Wiltshire, published an elaborate Treatife on Miracles," which he dedicated to Sherlock, who was his diocefan and friend. The book was principally written against Chubb, who lived at Salisbury, and it feems was angry with the bishop, for having faid fomething tharp about his difrefpectful treatment of Archdeacon Stebbing. On this Chubb, in his Difcourfe on Miracles, ventured to attack the incomparable tract above-mentioned, and Mr. Le Moine, in his treatife, has the following remarks on his conduct.

"There is another thing in Mr. Chubb's Difcourfe, &c. which I cannot pafs over unobferved. Amongst all the learned productions that have appeared of late in defence of chriftianity, none bas met with a more general applaufe than the Trial of the Wit neffes of the Resurrection of Jefus, &c., and therefore Mr. Chubb muft needs attack it; though I believe the true reafon of his doing fo is a fecret refentment of what the very great man, who is the author of it, was pleased to say of him, that he was come to per fonal reflections with respect to Dr. Stebbing, (who had published a Charge to the Clergy of Wilts, against his True Gospel, &c.)

ands

and this was given as a reason why the doctor would have no more to fay upon the fubje&. For he [Chubb] could not bear that the BISHOP OF SALISBURY (whom he means by that very great man): fhould talk fo of him, and be the caufe that he could not go on wrangling with Dr., Stebbing; befides, he is the doctor's great friend and benefactor, and confequently no better than himfelf. Hence all his virulence againft the Trial of the Witnesses, &c., though indeed what he here fays in his own juftification fhows but too plainly that the bishop had reafon to accufe him of per fonal reflections, and to advise the doctor upon this account to› drop the difpute." (Treatife on Miracles, p. 438.) Mr. Le Moine then goes on to vindicate the Trial of the Witneffes against the frivolous objections brought forward by Chubb, and repeatedly mentions the bishop as the author of that piece.

I am, your obedient fervant,

J. W. We are obliged to our Correfpondent for this information. The publication mentioned by Crito, has vanished; and the publifher's name being unknown, is not recoverable.

The Letter of our friend E. W. will appear next Month.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Kidd's edition of. Dawes's Mifcellanea Critica is in great forwardnefs at the prefs.

We hear that Herman has publifhed the Lexicon of Photius at Leipfic, from a foreign tranfcript. It will be curious to compare his edition with the Cambridge MS. or with the admirable tranfcript of Porfon..

The Rev. Theoph. Abauzit is preparing for the prefs, an edition of the Common Prayer Book, in French, in which the Gofpels, Epiftles, and Pfalms are taken from the Verfion publifhed at Geneva in 1805, by the Paftors and Profeffors of that place.

A confiderable part of. Mr. Beloe's fifth volume of Anec-: dotes of Literature is now printed.

M. Bertrand de Molleville is printing in English, an. Abridgement of the Hiftory of England, in the manner of Henault. It will be in three volumes octavo; and he will afterwards publifh one volume of Chronological Tables, for the afe of Schools.

A Miffionary's account of Ton-kin and Cochin China, will foon be publifhed here in French, under the fuperintendence of a French Gentleman, of known abilities.

Since printing our account of the Alexandrian School, in the present number, p. 66, we have obferved, that it is now avowed by Mr. Jerningham, and has reached a third edition. The critique upon it will fhow that it is but little, entitled to fuch a diftinction for which it is probably in debted to the fpirit of party. Our account had been accio dentally delayed.

FIFTEEN years have now elapfed fince we hailed the arrival

of the first Herculanean volume, the fragment of Philodemus on Mufic, edited by the tearned Carlo Refini*. Within that period we have been occafionally amufed with rumours of what was doing, or intended to be done, but till now nothing more has appeared before the public. Great therefore are the obligations of the literary world to Sir William Drummond and Mr. Walpole, the editors and authors of the prefent volume, for obtaining leave to publish
