There is an Association of Friends in London, for the printing and distribution of TRACTS on Moral and Religious Subjects, chiefly such as have a tendency to elucidate and support the Principles of Christianity as held by the Society of Friends; in which there are _sixty two_ different Tracts, price from 3_d._ to 2_s._ 6_d._ per doz. Sold by EDMUND FRY, 73, Houndsditch; and by HARVEY and DARTON, 55, Gracechurch Street, London: also at the Manchester and Stockport TRACT DEPOSITORY. Footnotes {25} Instead of being asked those questions, the present practice is to produce the needful certificates of consent. {26} This second attendance is not now required. {27} This hardly describes the present practice. It is not _during_ the gathering only, if at all, that exhortation takes place. If the corpse be conveyed to a meeting-house, the meeting is held like any other; and what is here called 'Exhortation,' takes place or not, as any minister present believes him or herself influenced. The usage at the burial ground is still as here described. Interments often take place without any previous meeting. {28} The collective sense and judgment of the church, herein, remains the same, as is manifest by the frequent advices given forth from their yearly and other meetings. {43a} At present (1834) there are eight yearly meetings on the American continent, which correspond with the yearly meeting in London, and mutually with each other; they are united in doctrine, and their discipline is similar. {43b} They are thus particularized in a more recent publication of the society:--This is an occasional voluntary contribution, expended in printing books; house-rent for a clerk, and his wages for keeping records; the passage of ministers who visit their brethren beyond sea; and some small incidental charges; but not, as has been falsely supposed, the reimbursement of those who suffer distraint for tithes, and other demands, with which they scruple to comply. {44} This is not now quite correct. A committee still draws up the General Epistle; but the minutes of the transactions of the meeting are made as matters occur during its several sittings. {57} Called the Meeting for Sufferings, and now held monthly, except exigencies require more frequent sittings.
