Excerpt from A Narrative of the Conversion of the Write Edward Leahey From Romanism
In publishing the subsequent narrative of my conversion from Romanism to Christianity, I feel utterly unable to give expression to my feelings, when I reflect upon the deep importance of the subject which I am about to lay before the public. It is a subject which comes home to the "business and the bosoms" of mankind. It is not confined to me as the individual concerned; it visits every circle, from the highest to the lowest, it alarms the very heart of the community, and interests all the friends of humanity and religion.
In the first place, my object is to show the reader the motives by which I am actuated in abjuring the tenets of the Church of Rome.
Secondly, I will prove Mr. Mullon, a Popish priest of New Orleans, to have been guilty of perjury; this charge I will sustain by publishing a letter written by Athans. Ford, Esq., and signed by several gentlemen of Philadelphia; also by publishing the certificate of my marriage, which he (priest Mullon) swore I had forged.
