Excerpt from Three Letters to the Editor of the Guardian: With a Preliminary Paper on the Extravagance of Certain Allegations Which Imply Some Similarity Between the Anglican Establishment and Some Branch, Existing at Some Period, of the Catholic Church
AN account of the circumstances which originated the following Letters, will be found in the Preface to the Second Letter. They labour under the defect, so common and so almost unavoidable in productions elicited by the pressure of argument with one particular opponent, a great irregularity in the way of order and arrangement. The Guardian, however, having terminated the controversy, on the very reasonable plea of its unsuitableness to the pages of a newspaper, it seemed better to collect them into one volume: and the object of this Preface is, first, to remedy, as best I may be able, the inconveniences flowing from the above mentioned defect; and then to develope one particular argument, stated in the Letters, at greater length than the exigencies of the Guardian controversy required.
