DR. .TELF AND THE "EDINBURGH

REVIEW."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—The last number of the _Edinburgh, Review
contains a charge against me of so serious a nature
that I cannot pass it over in silence. A note or
erratum is promised me in the next number of the
Review. But there are few public men who can
afford to wait two months for the vindication of
their characters. I have, therefore, recourse to you,
who can give, as no other man can give, the most
speedy and effectual redress of wrongs.
The following extract, from the article on "Essays
and Reviews (Edinburgh Review, April, 1861,
page 493), will show the nature and gravity of the
imputation :
"In a pamphlet embodying his speech in Convocation,
and requiring, as he justly says, the strictest accuracy—
accuracy in minute details—an estimable opponent of the
present volume, in order to prove a contradiction on the
point between a solitary passage of one of the essayists and
the 31st Article, has actually been obliged to interpolate
into his quotation the very expression at issue between him-
self and his adversary. In place of the comprehensive
Biblical expression adopted by all parties in the Church, he
substitutes, without acknowledgment, the phrase found
neither in Bible nor Prayer-book, ' pacifying of God's dis-
pleasure.' The contradiction which he endeavours to fas-
ten on the essayist thus recoils on his own head. We en-
tirely acquit him of anything but temerity of such a kind
as certainly to deter him from appearing again to denounce
his brethren. He is himself too conscientious and honour-
able a man not to deplore so strange a mis-statement."
In a note ibid, Dr. Self is said to have substi-

tuted " his gloss" for the word " propitiation."
Now, sir, I, on my part, entirely acquit the re-
viewer of anything but ignorance of the fact that I
had quoted the very words of that edition of the
Thirty-nine Articles which has the highest sanc-
tion of the law. I have the best reason for know-

ing that subsequently to the publication of his re-
view he had himself "discovered the ground of my
variation." Let me now repeat what I stated
shortly in a note in page 17 of the second edition of
my " Specific Evidence" (an edition published on the
23d of March, and not seen by the reviewer). I
took as the basis for my extraAs the edition of
the Thirty-nine Articles of 1562 rather than that
which is better known—viz., Jewell's revision
in 1571, not because I saw any difference between
" propitiation" and " the pacifying of God's dis-
pleasure" (to me, in a theological sense, they seem
exact equivalents), but because Dr. Cardwell had
long ago convinced me that the English edition of
1562 is, to use Dr. Cardwell's own words, " the
exact record that received the authority of Parlia-
ment" (13th Elizabeth, cap. 12). The grounds of
Dr. Cardwell's conclusion will be found stated in
his " Synodalia," vol. 1, note, beginning at page 53
(edition 1842). From Dr. Cardwell's reprint of the
original edition by Jugge and Cawood I took my
quotations. The original is the one referred to in
the 13th Elizabeth, cap. 12, as " a book imprinted,
entituled Articles whereupon it was agreed by
the Archbishops and Bishops of both provinces and
the whole clergy of the Convocation holden at Lon-
don in the year of our Lord God one thousand five
hundred sixty and two. " No change as to the
book to be subscribed is found in 13 Car. 11., or in
5 Anne, 5. To this may be added the well-known

the 36th Canon (Art. 3), headed " Subscription of

The facts prove conclusively that I have " inter-
polated" nothing. I have only exercised my own
freedom of choice in preferring, on definite grounds,
the authorised Parliamentary edition of the Thirty-
nine Articles, as subscribed by the clergy, to
jewell's later revision, which, according to
all
lahppearances, never received the sanction of Par-
liament. Consequently, I shall not be ashamed to
