    A In the above remarks, sir, I have left un¬ noticed the many excellences of your work: to have brought them forward would have been superfluous, as well as foreign to my avowed object. If, on the contrary, there exist in this work any other errors, than those which I have attempted to point out, they are nothing to me. I would not ani¬ madvert on the champion of religion, except where his misconceptions should appear liable to prejudice the sacred cause. I can indeed sympathize with the feelings of sorrow, with which he would hear, that this cause was suffering at. an important point, from faults detected in his superfluous ar¬ guments or inferences, and converted into arms against those, which are at once le¬ gitimate and essentially important.
