AFTER the foregoing sheets were printed off, I was favoured by the very worthy descendants of the pious and learned archbishop SHARP, with the present of a small but curious work lately published, which belongs to the ecclesiastical history of the xviiith century. It contains an account of the measures that were taken, and of the correspondence that was carried on in the years 1711, 1712, and 1713, for the introduction of the liturgy of the church of England into the kingdom of Prussia, and the electorate of Hanover. To this historical account are annexed several letters and original papers that are very interesting, more especially a plan of ecclesiastical discipline and public worship, drawn up by the learned Dr. JABLONSKY, and some other papers of the same author, concerning the nature of episcopacy, and the manner of rendering it compatible with the interests of the sovereign, and the religious liberty of the people.

This publication, which is chiefly designed for the use of the protestants in Prussia, is drawn from MS. memoirs of the life of archbishop SHARP, who was principally concerned in the transactions and correspondence above mentioned. These memoirs were composed from the archbishop's journal by his son, the learned Dr. THOMAS SHARP, archdeacon of Northumberland, and the historical account drawn from them, of the project for introducing episcopacy into Prussia, is published in a French translation, done by the Rev. Mr. MUYSSON, minister of the French chapel, at St. James's, &c.
