TO THE CLERGY of the DIOCESE of ST. DAVID'S. AbcrgwillyPalace, Oct. 23, 1804. RFVFn}:f) nTIln'llHl; E general object of the proposal, which I JL suggested at the conclusion of my Charge, was to form a Society,—a religious and literary Association,—for tire purpose of diffusing Religious Knowledge among tbc Poor, and of promoting Chanty and Union among all classes of Christians, in this Diocese. In answer to the circular let- ter, which I afterwards sent to the Rural Deans on the sub- ject, I received assurances of subscription and support, suffi- cient to induce me to propose that the meeting held here on Wednesday* Oct. 10, should form. the basis of a Society for proinoting 'Christian Knowledge and Church Union in the lJio- cese of St. David's. Tlie particular objects of this Society, proposed in my Charge and Circular Letter, are 1. To distribute .Bibles, Common-Prayer Books, and small Religious Tracts, in Welch and English* among the Poor, especially such Tracts assure recommended by the London Society for promoting Ciiristian Knowledge." 2. To establish Libraries for the use of the Clergy tff the Diocese. 3. To facilitate the means cf education to young men in- tended for the Ministry of the Chnrch of England in this Diocese, who are educated in the Diocese. '), 4. To encourage the estahlishmcntüf English Schools for the benefit of the Poor and ,5. To promote the institution of Sunday Schools. What was proposed to you in this general way, I will now ■Retail more particularly.' 1. Towards the tirst object of the Society much, I know, lias been done by some liberal individuals in circulating largely among their parishioners, Bibles, Common-Prayer Books, and Religious Tracts. The design of the Society in this its first object is, to enable other well-disposed indi- viduals to do the same by their parishioners, who have not the same pecuniary mearis. .'1. The second object of the Societv is to establish Libra- ries for the use ot the Clergy of the Diocese. Two of the five counties belonging to tins Diocese are already well pro- vided with libraries, by the liberality of Dr. Bray's Asso- ciates, viz. Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire. Radnor- shire and Brecon have never had the advantage of any pa- rochial or lending library. In Pembrokeshire very few li- braries have been established; and of those few, I am sorry to find, the remains are very inconsiderable. The purpose of the second object of the Society is, therefore, to promote the establishment of libraries in those parts of the .Diocese where thev have not yet been established and to give pub- licity and" security to those which have been established. In furtherance of this object, it m:ty be sufficient to begin with purchasing a few standard book's, to be confined to the respective 'Deaneries; and to print catalogues of ihe libra- ries which already exist in the Diocese. 3. The third object is to facilitate the means of educa- tion to young menmtended for the Ministry of the Church of Ellgbnd in this Diocese, who are educated in the Dio- cese."—The principal Schools in the Diocese, under proper regulations, and with appropriate methods of study, are abun- dantly sufficient for the elementary part of c!eiic;d educa- tion. But it would be very beneficial to the Church, if young men intended for the Ministry, who are precluded horn the advantages of all University education, were en- abled to employ their time in strictly professional studies cinring the four years preceding their ordination. Too often are they obliged, by necessity, to undertake the humblest offices of tuition, before they have finished t)n;irowii educa- tion. It: is obvious, how little opportunity there is in such situations to make much advancement in the know ledge of f St. their future profession. The loss of St. Mary's College at St. David's, and of the Colleges ht Abergwilly and Llandewi lirefi, was a great deduction from the religious establishment of this diocese, and has been very ill compensated by the collegiate institution at Brecon. It would have been fortu- nate for the unity of the Church in this part of the kingdom, if the three Colleges before-mentioned in Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, and Cardiganshire, instead of being dis- solved, had been reformed and enlarged on Protestant prin- ciples. It would be very desirable (if it were in our power) to supply these losses by at least some one establishment of appropriate education for -the Church. An establishment of this kind, I have been informed, was projected not" long since at Carmarthen, and some liberal offers made towards it. I cannot help thinking that a much fitter situation for the- purpose might be found than a populous county town. IJut for the support of such an establishment, much ampler funds are requisite than arc necessary to the views of this Society; and to our present undertaking. I will however fnke some future, and not very distant, opportunity of con- ferring with you on the means of forming such an establish- ment. For the present, if this object of the Society (" to fa- cilitate the education of young men intended for the Mini- .1 it stry of the Church of England in this Diocese, and edu- cated in the Diocese,") be approved and sufficiently encou- raged, we may be able, with very good effect, to assist young students in divinity with books, and some pecuniary aid. Tor the accomplishment of this object, I earnestly recom- tueud that every ne'w incumbent may contribute the tenth part of one year's income of his benefice; and that the be- nefaction be payable at the end of the first year of his in- cumbency. And I trust that such a contribution from the patrimony of the Church towards the better support of the household offaith, will not be thought burdensome by any sincere friend of the Church. To this objc.ct I am willing to contribute one hundred and twenty pounds, which is a proportionate part of what I am tulu is the average income of this jeer. 4. The fourth object of the Society is to encourage the establishment of English schools tor the benefit of the poor. Without a knowledge of the English language, the poor are deprived of man) advantageous opportunities of service, of commerce, of religious instruction, and other useful know- ledge. With the help of the English language," they will ac- quire a better knowledge of their own; for the two dialects, will be more effectually taught, if they are taught by the aid of each other. 5. The fifth object, of the Society is to assist the establish- ment of Sunday Schools. This object we may promote by contributing books, and also premiums for the encourage- ment of teachers and scholars. In aid of this object you would perform a very useful service to the Church, by using your best endeavours with your parishioners for the build- ing or,hiring of an appropriate school-room 'in each of your respective parishes. The custom of converting churches into school-rooms has very ill consequences. The church can never be kept in that degree of cleanliness and de- cency, in which it ought. The reverence for the house of God,'which grows up. with well-disposed persons from their youngest years, must unavoidably be precluded by so im- proper a custom. I cannot conclude this address without expressing a hope, that the successful establishment of a Society for promoting Christian Knowledge and Church Union in this Diocese, will not only answer its several particular purposes, but be productive of the best general result,—a spirit of Union, and Connection, and Christian Fellowship,—-which, in this very dilapidated part of the Church of England, the Diocese of St. David's, is greatly to be desired, not only for the'sake of our own pcopk, who cannot but be interested in observing "Your united eilbrts in the service of Religion and the Church but for the sake also of our Dissenting Brethren,who may be induced to think that the'good which.they may hope for'from unauthorised teachers in a state of schism and dis- sension, mav benetter attained under a duiy appointed Mini- stry k and that schism and dissension do not well consist with a sincere love of Christ, if that Jove be estimated by a regard for what Tie above all things prayed, for ,!o his Father,-—Tht linitij of his l)iseiplesr-M all ages of th, Church.

Matthew Henry's Annotations on the Bible have been so long and so universally approved, that all encomiums on that excellent Performance would appear hlSM.y impertinent. From that valuable source of Practi- cal Divinity, all the modern Commentators have, extracted their best materials"; but by their injudicious interpola- tions and abridgements, they have'greatly impaired the genuine spirit of Christianity which breathes through every page oi that Evangelic Work, and in some instances have grossly misrepresented the Author's meaning. For many years the circulation of this valuable ork was impeded, from the inability of many persons to purchase so volu- minous a library of Christianity at once; but, to remove this obstacle, the Proprietor of the present edition has published it in Weekly Numbers; and having provided paper of a large size, and completely filled the capacious pages with the inestimable contents, he is enabled to com- prise the whole in only three volumes instead of five, as it was originally published.
