The Literary and Theological Review having become united with the Biblical Repertory, the latter work is now sent to all the subscribers of the former, unless specially instructed to discontinue. We would respectfully invite the continued patronage of all the readers and friends of the former work: and especially would solicit the kind aid of its contributors to supply our pages, and of its agents, in the circulation of our work. We would earnestly press upon such of our subscribers as may yet be in arrears, to make their remittances promptly. It is due to the estate of the late proprietor to adjust all its known claims without delay. The bills sent out in the last number have been but very partially attended to. Our distant subscribers are reminded of the opportunity to send in their remittances by the delegates to the next General Assembly; and if they will embrace that occasion, for making their payments in current money, we will cheerfully await that period.

In order however to understand it, it is necessary to recollect that the Episcopal church was by law established in Virginia, and nonattendance upon its services made a penal offence. To make provision however for dissenters, the legislature had adopted the English Act of Toleration, and given it the force of law in that colony. It was on this ground that Mr. Davies recognized that act, and appealed to it for protection. This he states distinctly in a letter dated May 21st, 1752, and addressed to Dr. Avery. He there says, "I am fully satisfied, |
