CORRESPONDENCE.

In our last Number (p. 378), a passage was cited from the "Vindication of the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Bible Society," in which the Rev. J. Pratt, the Rev. J. Townsend, the Rev. Dr. Bogue, the Rev. J. Hughes, and Mr. Z. Macauley, are represented as unanimously declaring, that the rules of the Society were expressly framed with the view of excluding the Apocrypha. Satisfied as we were at the time of the incorrectness of the assertion, we were not provided with positive information which would have justified us in meeting it with a direct contradiction. We have since ascertained, that it is altogether unsupported by fact. With the exception of Mr. Townsend and Mr. Hughes, the individuals mentioned had no part in the original formation of the Society; and one of them even hesitated for a while to express his approval. It is true, that the Rev. Mr. Pratt assisted in revising the rules after the Society was established; but the subject of the Apocrypha was not even then contemplated.
