Excerpt from A Review of the Reports, Evidence and Arguments, as Presented in the Case of Trinity Church, to the Legislature of New-York, 1857
But has not this voice been heard? Have there not been reports of a Senatorial Committee, testimony of trust-worthy men, and arguments of learned counsel? Yes - there have been all these, and more. Perhaps too much, rather than too little. Truth, like the Roman maiden, beneath the Sabine shields, may be crushed under the multitude of pretended de fences. Our design is not to increase the superincumbent mass, but to strip off the useless bucklers, under whose weight she is now hidden, and crushed to the earth. That is the end and object of this Review.
