almost, wholly- withdrawn, for several
years, from the care of tbeir parents :
they are confined, during the greater

The general character and manners
of the inhabitants of Liverpool, are
similar to those of the citizens of our
manufacturing town*. As in them, the
intercourse between the different ranks
of society is free and open. The pride,
of nobility and ancestry, regarding sup-,
posed inferiority with repulsive counte
nance mud half averted eye, (which we
had been led to expect in England,)
was not met with; nor were we, as when
in Liverpool, disgusted with the. petty.
associations which it ought ever to be
among the objects of early education to
cherish and to strengthen. They are
also of opinion, that the daily associa

WRITERS OF SACRED HISTORY.
Moses lived about 1500 years before
our Saviour. Being educated in the
Kiug of Egypt’s lainily, tie was taught
all which the priest aud wise men ol
the countiykuew; arid his attach ment
to his own nation, the descendants of
Abraham, would lead him to study
their history. He lived about 800
years alter the deluge of Noah, and
about 400 later than Abraham. The
Hebrews were descendants of Sheni,
and the Egyptians and CanaaniteS from
Ham. The'posterity of tlie ialter
soonest settled in cities, and thus be
came inventors of • the ; arts of- life.—
The posterity of the other were tillers
of the earth; or keepers of sheep aud
cattle,'and therefore lived 'mare scat-
terep and insulated. The mode of
life of these was more favorable to
virtue and rejigiom The long lives of
the early generations of. men served
to haqd down events by tradition with
more accuracy. And what other
means they had of preserving them,
we are not now able to say. The
Egyptians used hieroglyphics in Mo
ses’ time, no doubt. Tlipre is no ac
count of alphabetic writing bciore
Moses, unless an allusion be made to
it in Job. But that book Was proba
bly written by Moses, during the forty
years he was in the land of Midiau.—
Whetheralphabeticwritmgwasknown
by the Autedeluvians, and by Nouli
was coinmviuicatcd to his descendants,
can only be ^ a matter, df conjecture.
Great events might be handed down
from Noah to Abraham by only one
inierveningperson.and that was Sheni
who lived 500 years after the flo id.
And from Abraham, or from Jacob,
to Moses, two intervening persous
might be suffi. ient. In Midian, the
southwest part of Arabia, wherb Mo
ses passed lorty years in retirement,
the patriarchal life continued; and
the ancient men with whom Moses
was there acquainted, rio doubt, had
a correct knowledge of events in that
part ofthe world from the time oftiie
flood.
Moses, then, =wb perceive, would
be able to give a correct account of
the deluge, and ofthe preservation of
Noah; of events after tiiat catastrophe;
of attempts to build Babel; ofihe de-
descendants pi Noaji; of the separate
migrations and spread of his posterity;
and of the lives of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. His account of creation,'
or of the present foVihalion and settle
ment of the earth, he might have re-
; ceived from the ancient men, whom
extracts made and presen ed of all
that was’most Important. Some ofthe
unimportant- chronicles might not
nave been copied or preserved. A
few bonks or records are certainly
l»>st. Ezra was probably also the wri
ter of the book of Either, ns well as
of that bearing his name. And by him
after the return from the Babylonian
captivity, the older books weire col
lected; arranged and copied; for pre-
seryation. Neheiniah wrote the book
which bears his name ; or left materi
als lor it, which were perfected by Si
mon, a pious and learned Jew of a
little later period. Ezra or Neheniiah,
probable the former also collected
or arranged the prophetical books,ex
cepting Malachi, who wrote it at a
subsequent period, whose book..of
prophecies might have been' written
by himself a:.a by Simon before men
tioned. These books, it is generally-
supposed, and there is no reason to
doubt it, were received by the Jews
and called the scriptures in the time
of our Saviour. They were ‘read in
the synagogues every sabbath day,’
and were appealed to as authority in
regard to the history ofthe nation, the
rites and forms of their religion and to
the advent, character, and doct rides
of the Messiah, or Christ. Nearly
three hundred years before Christ, the
sacred books were rendered into
Greek at Alexandria in Egypt. And
this version was known and use at
the time of our Lord and his apostles.
The Jews being settled in various
parts of the extensive Roman empire,
the knowledge of the wr.tings of the
Old Testament was no doubt a jquired
by many Gentiles, who thuse became
acquainted with the Jewish religion.

a jfirm and unfaltering voice, that it
was by their own voluntary and free

bishop then placed upon each of them
a crown of thorns, and gave them a
missal and a crucifix. The holy
eucharist was next administered in

Romanism has of late made in that
