argument produced against the Cambridge Camden Society, we may hope that its assailants are at a loss for other arms. Such attacks must do it good; so far we rejoice in them: but we nevertheless grieve for those that originate them. Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam? We are perfectly aware that home-truths are not pleasant things, and can forgive the irritation of an irritable man at being compelled to hear them. We can excuse the displeasure of an author at being informed that, however much he may know of Oriental literature, he knows nothing else, and less than nothing of ecclesiology. We can understand the ebullition of his wrath in hard names and harder imputations. But we cannot so readily find an excuse for we hope not deliberate-misrepresentation.

We have pointed out several instances in which Dr. Willet and Dr. Lee differ. We will end by pointing out one in which they agree. Dr. Willet, it appears "did sometimes for recreation's sake amuse his friends with mirthful discourses and relations :" Dr. Lee's present letter appears an imitation of this very praiseworthy habit recorded of his predecessor. Papismo-mastinx major had an advantage over his briefer imitator: he was sure of his audience; but how few are they who will attend to Professor Lee!

We understand that Professor Lee has another letter in the press: and as we shall probably have occasion to notice that, we were unwilling to inflict on our readers any serious reply to this.

THE CAMBRIDGE CAMDEN SOCIETY.

"WHAT is the Cambridge Camden Society doing now?" is a question which we have been more than once asked ;—and to which, though, as our readers very well know, we have no official connection with that Society, we shall take upon ourselves to give some answer.

Our readers learned, from the statement which we were requested to circulate with our last number, that a committee had been formed, for the purpose of inducing members to secede from the Camden Society. The manner in which this object was attempted was worthy of the spirit which suggested it. Printed forms of secession were sent to each member, to which he was, in another communication, requested to attach his name :-and these forms, when filled, were not sent by the parties appending their names to the Secretary, but to an agent of the new Committee; for the purpose, it should seem, of enabling them to count the numbers of those whom they had thus detached from the Society.

We subjoin a tabular view of those who have left, and of those who have remained with it ;—and, since we all know that stiff, unbending, principle is sure to be unpopular, and that the enemies of the Cambridge Camden Society were by no means scrupulous as to the means they employed of doing it mischief, we think the only subject for wonder is the smallness of the secessions.
