Excerpt from A Recently Proposed Test of Canonicity

We have now passed under a careful review the several parts of this theory. If our examination has been prolonged, it has been due to the character of the witness with whom we have had to deal. He has shown himself to be an apparently relue tant witness. A close cross-examination has been necessary, there fore, to compel him to lay aside his reluctance and to testify to the real nature Of his theory. If the attempt has been success ful, two considerations will go far to compensate us for the time it has taken First, We may feel sure that our view of the theory is correct, inasmuch as it has been derived from the statements of one of its advocates; and, second, We need not tarry long upon its refutation, for this is one of those cases where a clear state ment of a theory is almost equivalent to a refutation of it.
