THAT" injury and loss to the interests of Christian truth, Christian piety, and Christian charity," of which the Dean of Bocking affectionately admonished the Church members of the Bible Society as the necessary result of its measures and proceedings, and as involved in the very principle of its constitu tion, have marked its progress from the period of its establishment to the present hour-appealing to them in behalf of every thing which they profess to reverence, with a more impressive importunity, at every stage of its career. A mere glance at the titles which form the series prefixed to this article, will, we are persuaded, carry our readers with us in this introductory reflection, and secure us their approbation of the plan which we have adopted for bringing the pamphlets under review, as the one best calculated to exhibit their respective merits, and to carry those convictions to all whom it may concern, which they have indeed too long resisted; but which, it is to be hoped, they may yet receive for some better purpose than unavailing self-reproach and vexation. It is obvious that we are here including in one critical investigation two discussions, which have arisen at remote times and places, and among different persons; but it is equally obvious, that in the occasions which produced them, there is a sufficient similarity to justify the association, and to promise that a survey so conducted will turn to better account than if they were separately considered, and no advantage taken of the light which the respective disputants reflect upon each other. The first five pamphlets relate to two speeches reported to have been delivered from the chair at the annual meetings of the Norfolk and Norwich Auxiliary Church Missionary and Bible Societies, in September, 1814, by the Lord Bishop of that diocese, and comprize the animadversions of Mr. Forby upon certain positions attributed to his Lordship; two answers to those animadversions, Mr. Forby's rejoinder, and Mr. Glover's reply. The three last are a succession of assaults upon the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, for a passage in his charge recently delivered, and published without authority in the London and provincial newspapers. That our readers may be in possession of the whole subject, we here present them with the two speeches in question, as they stand cited from the Norwich Mercury in Mr. Forby's appendix; intending to supply the remaining document at its proper place by a similar citation.
