Synopsis
Excerpt from Baptism a Treatise on the Nature, Perpetuity, Subjects, Administrator, Mode, and Use of the Initiating Ordinance of the Christian Church; With an Appendix, Containing Strictures on Dr. Howell's Evils of Infant Baptism, Etc
So numerous are the Works on' Baptism, at the present day - so worthless are the most of them - so humble are the claims of the author of the following treatise, that he has not been without some usplea sant apprehensions 1n regard to its fate, if committed to the press. He has, therefore, concluded to adopt an expedlent, not unfrequently resorted to in similar cases: that 1s to say, to send forth his unpretending little book under the protection of a name, far Wider known and more esteemed than his own. When it is seen that the patronage of one ofi the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is thus far extended to the work, the public perhaps may con sider it not altogether unworthy of notice. The author indeed, has other reasons for thisfins'cription, but they are of such a complexion as to justify their omission in this place, as considerations of personal esteem and the like need not be detailed m the front of a volume.
