maps the most interesting discussion which has oecv,rsA
since the Reforma ton perhaps beCor. that ,.,ro,
bile epoch The crlebri'y of Mr. Owen, and lbs bold
attack on all religions, gave great expectations to the
seepuoni world Having myself expected much acrn-
mu' ae'' large variety Of documents aud arguments ia,
defence of tho Revelation, aud explored all the svstep,
81 seepliclsm u ancient and mudeTn times The s,1l
system too so ably plead by MIR. Owen came iu re-
view FowoTK OF The same Kind be found IN any

leaders who DESTROYS understand these subjects
Mr. Owen and myself have agreed 90 add ArrEN-
DIX TO THE DEBATE, tor the purpose of making the
work more satisfactory. This Appendix will present
from both parties their best thoughts such maters as
were not so fully examined in the discussion In word
we may say that this work will be IN nseNa little hbtd-
