candid, and liberal as that now before us, we would not, on any account, fay a word in reply to it, which could appear to favour of hoftility. But when the author tells us that the canons of his church moft ftrictly and feverely prohibit all clergymen, under the highest penalties, from taking part or concurring, in any hape, in any capital or fanguinary punishment, for any crime whatfoever," we must be permitted to ask him whether no proteftant, or other heretic, was ever put to death for his fuppofed errors in religion only* and whether the governors and other chief officers of the inquifition, in all countries, were not clergymen? A reafoner fo calm and fair will not furely feck fhelter under the fhallow pretence of delivering the poor victim up to the fecular arm, when his pretended guilt was eftablished. "Qui facit per alium facit per fe:" and the inquifitors are doubtless anfwerable at the great tribunal, for every individual tortured and put to death.

We will not attempt at prefent to carry this controverfy further. It is rather late at this period to object to what we wrote on the publication of Sir Richard Mufgrave's Hiftory of the Rebellion. We believed that work to be authentic. We have not yet feen any reafon for believing otherwife: and our feelings upon the occafion were natural. But we rejoice extremely to fee our liberal and friendly layman write thus upon the fubje&t

"I hold the Irish rebellion, from beginning to end, and the jacobinical fpirit that produced it, and the atrocities that accompanied it, in the utmoft poffible abhorrence; looking on the rebels as moft vile mifcreants, and on all catholics any way concerned in the rebellion, efpecially thofe few moft infamous priefts, whodirectly or indirectly inftigated, abetted, or connived at it, in any manner whatever, as a difgrace to human nature. If I could find ftronger language I would use it," &c. P. 8.

What can we defire more?-But alas, were not vaft numbers implicated in that condemnation, and would not vast numbers again be ready to incur it ?-With refpect to a correct knowledge of the Roman catholic creed, we can only fay that if clerical authority (for we hold none other decifive) will point out to us any one book in which all effential articles of their faith are laid down, we will gladly be guided by it in future. As to the writer of this tract, we feel even obliged to him for his fentiments towards us, which, at the fame time, we hope, are nothing more than juft.

not defpife, and the Learner will find the Advantage of practising; containing useful Inftruction on every approved Method of Angling, and particularly on the Management of the Hand and Rod in each Method. Embellished with twelve Plates, of Fish, Fishing, Baits and Tackle, defigned and etched by S. Horwitt. Liverpool, printed; Bagfter, London. 1808.

The talents of Mr. Howitt are, we believe, acknowledged, and the prefent little work feems to have been executed, con amore. The landfcapes and figures are in the freeft and moft elegant style of etching, the portraits of fishes appear to be both spirited and exact; and an interest is given even to the common tackle of the angler, by the freedom of the burin, which has produced the reprefentation. Of the frontispiece, fly-fishing, and the view at p. 3, entitled minnow fishing, too much cannot be faid. Pike-fishing and float-fibing have alfo great merit, in the more tranquil ftyle, As he author was evidently pleafed with his occupation, we pre. fume that he is alfo fkilled and experienced in the art he here re commends, and that his precepts are really fuch as the profi cient will not defpife, an the learner will find advantage in prac tifing;" if we may venture to repeat any affertion from a title. page.
