Excerpt from A Review of the Letters of the Late Rev. John Bowden, D. D., Professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic, and of Belles Lettres in Columbia College, to the Rev. Dr. Miller, One of the Pastors of the United Presbyterian Churches in the City of New-York: Or, Episcopal Claims, Calmly Considered It was under these circumstances, that Dr. Miller commenced his well-timed and learned defence of the institutions of that nu morons and highly respectable denomination, to which he belong ed, or as thus expressed by himself: Under these circumstances, when we were virtually denounced and excommunicated when the name of a Christian Church was denied us; when our people were warned to abandon the ministry of their Pastors, under the penalty of being regarded as rebels and schismaticks, both by God and man when some in our communion we e perplexed, others, more discerning and better informed, rendered indignant, and when allappeared to feel the propriety of vindicating the abused ordinances of Christ. Impressed with this conviction, laddressed to you a series of Letters on the Christian astry. Dr. Millenhaving thus from the press addressed his people, was in like manner replied to by Dr. Bowden, in twenty one Letters, contained in two vol umes. And occupying 662 pages. To these the former replied in another series, contained in one volume of 434 pages. But this controversy did not terminate here, as Dr. Bowden again replied in a third volume, containing 414 pages, and constituting in the whole 1076 pages.
