Just at the time when the intention of publishing this reprint
was formed or forming came to the notice of the Editors the information
of Mr Beverley, Letter to the Archbishop of York on this subject,
namely through the Leading Article of the Morning Chronicle of the ' of June 1831 in which to their
astonishment it was
stated as being then
already at the seventh
Edition. Had that work
been of a nature be fulfill
of itself the purpose to
which it endeavours to be
contributory; that is to
say to give expression to
of a system of arrangement,
by which if a proposed
law were enacted in
conformity to them, the
design of it
would as to the whole
or any part of it be
accomplished, the
Editors would of this
reprint would never
have constituted themselves
such, nor

As to Mr Beverley after employing six and thirty
pages in the pourtraying the Abuse of the English Church Establishment
he employs two not more than one other, namely
part of page 37 and part of page 38 in the indication of
his proposed remedies. At the time of his penning those
two pages had it happened to him to have read the these pages
of Church of Englandism established which are reprinted in
the present little extract, he would hardly or think have
sent to the press a proposal so complea remarkably deficient
in the desirable requisites of clearness, precision, correctness
comprehensiveness: and had it happened to him to have
heard of the existence of a work intituled Church of
Englandism estables published so lately as in the years
18 in an 8v. Volume containing full as much number
subject as his 8v. Volumes of ordinary size, he
would we find a difficulty of supposing concerning how it could
have happened to him not only to sit down to write his pamphlet
without but to have concluded it without having either
bought or borrowed a copy of that same Book. Was it
a work generally unknown: a work which to use a an expression
of David Hume when speaking of a work of his own
had fallen dead born from the press? Out of 750 copies
printed, there remain not so many as 31 undisposed
of.

on it without making addition to it an other amendments in such
extent and number, as to throw over the original grand
a compleat ev so as to bear the matter of it imperceptible. In a work
of an the all-embracing and well-considered and digested system
already so long ago communicated to the public by Mr Bentham
Mr Beverleys work nothing more than a few scattered and unconnected fragments
or rather hints hastily put together and left together not extending to the compass of a single page.

even supposing
Mr Bentham to
be a person unknown

attempted any thing
which could have the
effect of taking the business
out of the able
hands which had
taken this hold of it.

But by not much
by any part, nor by
the whole together of
that pamphlet could
any such purpose be
accomplished. No proposed
law, in a word the
Bill could be grounded
