    35 Crabbe (George). A.L.s. 4 pages 4to. to the Rev. John Crabbe, Beccles, Bee. 7, 1823 “ I went this morning to hear a Mr. , a curate for the time of Dr. Owen, and one just of Dr. Owen’s sentiments There is a strange mixture of vanity or piety, weakness and good meaning, posi- tiveness and perplexity in all their discourses. At first 1 was amused, then offended, now sick, and that, I suspect, is the effect upon almost all who are not satisfied with hearing—(hearing nothing beside),—that “Christ’s blood eleanseth from all sin;” a doctrine which not a single person is disposed to question, but this joined with opinions, and delivered in a language which few or none are disposed to admit Is it a proof of my amendment, or proof of my infirmity, that (in the corrections and alterations of my Murray-concerns), I wrote 100 verses yesterday ?” 36 Crabbe (George). A.L.s. 4 pages 4to. to the Rev. Geo. Crabbe, Beccles, Nov. 6, 1825 “ I have been engaged by Spurzheim’s new edition of his phrenology. He does not write English accurately, and, even where I understand, I cannot always agree, and this in assertions which do not immediately relate to the science, to which I lean sceptically.” .... Speaking of Calvinistic divines, he says “ they are not all like Dr. Owen’s Curate. This young man, only in deacon’s orders, was more vehement than becomes a dignitary of the Church, and more cruel in his assertions than becomes any man. We had death on the pale horse and hell behind him, open for all who do not escape just in the narrow way this youth recommends.” 37 Crabbe (George). A.L.s. 4 pages 4to. to tbe Rev. G. Crabbe, no date. “ I have a great deal of tedious though not unpleasant work before me. How a tedious work can be pleasant is somewhat of a riddle, but it is literally true. Correcting verses is pleasantly tedious,” etc. 38 Crabbe (George). A.L.s. 3 pages 4to. to tbe Rev. G. Crabbe, Trowbridge, May 18, 1826 An interesting letter, on Religious Faith, with references to Scott, Ilervey, Marshall’s Mystery of Sanctification, etc. 39 Crabbe (George). A.L.s. 3 pages 4to. to tbe Rev. Geo. Crabbe, Trowbridge, April 19, 1827 An interesting letter on the difficulties of the Evidences of Religion, the aid of the Holy Spirit, Religious Faith, etc. 40 Crabbe (George). A.L.s. 3 pages 4to. to tbe Rev. Geo. Crabbe, Trowbridge, Feb. 7, 1828 Very interesting. On the nature and character of Christians. 41 Crabbe (George). Three Autograph Letters (imperfect, but interesting) ; and A.L.s. of bis Son and Biographer, the Rev. Geo. Crabbe
