Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review: January, 1856 We have never felt any inclination to engage in the Episco pal controversy, for two reasons. First, because so far as the Scriptures are concerned, there does not seem to us to be any room for controversy; and secondly, because when we go beyond the Scriptures, and get into the field of historical testi mony, there is no end to controversy. The discussion cannot by possibility be brought to a satisfactory conclusion, not only because the field is so extensive, but also because the testimony itself is so ambiguous or contradictory; and also because the parties are not agreed as to what is genuine, what spurious, and what interpolated in the writings quoted on the one side or upon the other. If, as was taught by the most eminent of the Christian Fathers, and is conceded by the leading authorities of the Church of Rome, and was held by the great divines of the Church of England at the time of the Reformation, and is now strenuously insisted upon by the Anglican or Oxford party in that Church, Episcopacy cannot be proved from Scrip ture alone, then the controversy must be left in the hands of those who have made historical research their special vocation. But when the advocates of Prelacy venture out of the jungles of patristic lore, and attempt to establish themselves on scripture ground, then any man who can read the Bible may join the conflict, and strive to drive them back to the thickets whence they came. As the argument to which our attention has been specially called, purports to be a scriptural one, we feel bound to give it our serious attention. For if Prelacy be taught in the Bible, all men are bound to be prelatists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review for the Year 1850, Vol. 22 Passing over the many instances of such erratic and fanatical extravagances which history records, and to some of which the review before us alludes, we will glance at two recent and nota ble ones occurring among ourselves, that we may the better judge whether religion makes men insane, or Whether it merely fails in many cases to bring them to their right mind. It may be said that they continue insane in spite of all that religion can do for them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review for the Year 1837, Vol. 9 As a review of the current literature of the day, - the purity of style, sprightliness of manner, and depth of research which characterize its various reviews, strongly commend it also to the general reader. But almost the entire labour of writing articles and editing it, heretofore, has de volved on a few gentlemen at Princeton. This onerous service has been cheerfully borne by them from year to year with the hope, thatthe success of the work would, in part at least, relieve them. To call the attention of ministers and laymen of the Presbyterian Church to the necessity of sustaining the Repertory, is the object of this circular. It is not contemplated to make any change in the editorial depart ment of the work, - that will still continue with the association at Princeton. But it is the desire of both Editors and Proprietor, that its circulation should be so ex tended as to allow them to pay liberally for contributions to its pages. So that, inaddition to those who are accustomed to furnish matter for it, the aid of a still larger number of the ablest writers in the Church may be secured.
