Abstract:
It is not my intention to enter upon a history of the minute and perplexing details of the system supported by Messrs. Warren and
Andrews. Though I can safely join the author of the paper read
at Glasgow in the assertion that "I do not profess to be able to
defend all the principles enunciated" yet I cannot adopt in any
instance his statement regarding himself, and say that ?I should
find it difficult to confute any." On the contrary, the principles in
general appear so unsound, and the precepts so mischievous, as to
be difficult of confutation on no other grounds than those on which
it is hard to encounter a person in controversy who denies that one
and one make two. I shall, therefore, not enter into the details of
the system, but content myself with furnishing one example of the
grounds on which I was first induced to form an unfavourable contusion
respecting it.
