Excerpt from The Freewill Baptist Quarterly, 1864, Vol. 12: Conducted by an Association It is both pleasing and useful to trace the history of the struggle between Christianity and the various forms of unbe lief and doubt, from the time of the Apostles to the present time. In such a course of reading, the book before us -is the best guide it has fallen to our lot to find. It is more than a mere guide, for it gives within its own compass much of that very history itself, both in its outline, and, to no inconsiderable extent, in the details. It even goes further, and attempts by analysis to detect the various causes underlying the history. If in the latter efi'orts we do not altogether agree with the au thor, we can always give him credit for honest labor and can did thought, frankly conceding that his suggestions help as to satisfy ourselves as to causes where he fails to assign them.
