sufficient in himself. I therefore summoned his brother. The pair
have served their purpose; a year nowadays produces great changes in
men's thoughts concerning Christianity, and the little matter of
Erewhon having quite blown over I feel that I may safely appear in my
true colours as the champion of orthodoxy, discard the OWENS as other
than mouthpieces, and relieve the public from uneasiness as to any
further writings from the pen of the surviving brother.

Nevertheless I am bound to own that, in spite of a generally
favourable opinion, my critics have not been unanimous in their
interpretation of The Fair Haven. Thus, The Rock (April 25, 1873,
and May 9, 1873), says that the work is "an extraordinary one,
whether regarded as a biographical record or a theological treatise.
Indeed the importance of the volume compels us to depart from our
custom of reviewing with brevity works entrusted to us, and we shall
in two consecutive numbers of The Rock lay before its readers what
appear to us to be the merits and demerits of this posthumous
production."

"His exhibition of the certain proofs furnished of the Resurrection
of our Lord is certainly masterly and convincing."

"To the sincerely inquiring doubter, the striking way in which the
truth of the Resurrection is exhibited must be most beneficial, but
such a character we are compelled to believe is rare among those of
the schools of neology."
