Excerpt from The Apocalypse Interpreted, Vol. 2: In the Light of "the Day of the Lord," Here, besides the unintelligible clause to which I have annexed a note of interrogation, it is pleaded that my works, including the one under notice, were advertised in the same number of the Journal which contained Mr. Birks' article. But how could this mere accident have influenced Mr. B., who did not know of it till the Journal was published Again, how could it be expected that from a general similarity of subject, a reader would identify an unnamed pamphlet with one in a column of advertisements And as to his writing to the Publisher of the Journal for information, why Should it be thought that the latter would be able to give it? For, surely, books might be reviewed in the Journal, with which he had no connexion as Publisher. Nor, as the case was, could it have occurred to him, as an experienced man, that a work to which the Author's name was fully attached, was the same with one alluded to, without the clue of Author or Publisher, by a respectable reviewer in his own periodical! I admit, that probably by writing to the Editor, a very inquisitive reader might discover, by a notice in the following number of the Journal, that my Pamphlet was the one alluded to. But was it fair, I ask, was it conformable to precedent for Mr. Birks to so write his review that only readers of this stamp, and after so long an interval, could satisfy themselves on the point. The secret wound, as Mr. Birks calls it, of which I complain, has been inflicted, I repeat, not on myself, but on the cause of which I am an humble advocate.
