cal as a specimen. The work however is interesting on
the whole; still I do not feel able to continue taking the
future numbers. We have many valuable English magazines
printed //in this country// and most of my time is taken up in their peru-
sal. Besides the German language is so little in use on
this side [of] the water (I mean in the Southern States) that no
sale can be found for them. From these considerations we hope
that our good friends in Germany will not expect extensive
demands for these writings, though their literary merit be
highly appreciated. I am willing to take von Ammon’s Journal
deeming it a respectable and useful miscellany, and I hope on
a future occasion to point out a few lesser publications which
I should like to peruse.

From several notices, not previously received, I find
that the eminent theologians Knapp and Niemeyer have
been removed from this stage of action. They were indeed
shining lights of our church, and an honour to the institu-
tion over which they long presided. They are now gone, we
trust to receive a bright reward in the regions of unchanging
felicity, and though absent from us, their useful works
will long prove a blessing to posterity. May the great
Head of the Church vouchsafe to raise up others – worthy
to adorn the fields of science, the cause of piety and religion
and to advance the interests [of] benevolence as their successors.
