    ,reful examination into the present religious move- ent in Belfast, I have been requested by many of y brethren to publish the result of my observations. My chief object 'was to inquire into the nature the bodily affections. I have strictly adhered to e plan I previously formed, to examine the pheno- ena myself, and to compare them with the results past experience of a somewhat unusual kind. I have been in communication in Belfast with rsons holding various opinions on the subject; but will be seen that my own views are the result of rmer experience, and not adopted from any with 10m I communicated. If I must at first deal with questions of a rather struct nature, I will give facts and stories of ter- )le interest before I have done. The views here expressed are the result of years of servation, thought, and study ; but the expression those views, suddenly called for by some of my athren, and written at their request under great assure in respect of time, entitles me to ask from am a favourable construction.
