F ; 1 ■ I ly . " 22d August, 1S09. " 1 am a good deal interested in an American tract which I began to read yesterday, upon a sub- ject I little expected to have seen so ably handled on your side the water. It contains some letters from Mr. Hobart to Dr. Mason, upon the subject of Episcopacy. It seems to have been occasioned by the animadversions of Dr. Mason upon some former RIGHT REV. JOHN HENRY HOBART. 127 pieces of the author, which I have not seen. The tract in question appears to possess ...uncommon merit; and whoever Mr. Hobart is, he writes like a gentleman, a scholar, and a Christian. " But the chief reason of my mentioning this tract is, to congratulate you upon the fair progress which literature seems to be making with you, (taking it for granted, that Mr. Hobart was educated in America, ) of which the work in question is a most laudable specimen. " Besides the original works wliich he wrote, his emendations of others, and his numerous compila- tions, he undertook, in 1808, a periodical publica- tion, entitled the Churchman's Magazine, which was strictly devoted to the maintenance of the same sound principles that had hitherto been the ruling aim of his labours, exhibiting the truth as it is in Jesus, and the Church which he purchased with his blood, in all her integrity, purity, and glory.
