Notes: Concerning the question whether the Bible represents the revealed will of God or is "a cunningly devised fable." "The infidels assembling in Tammany-Hall, under the name 'Moral Philanthropists,' appointed two gentlemen ... Mr. Benjamin Offen, and Mr. G.H. Purser to be their delegates to confer with Dr. W.W. Sleigh. ... The New York discussion commenced in the Euterpian Hall, Broadway, and was carried on for fifteen nights, in the presence of thousands."--p. iv.
