Excerpt from The British Controversialist, and Literary Magazine, 1861: Devoted to the Impartial and Deliberate Discussion of Important Questions in Religion, Philosophy, History, Politics, Social Economy, Etc., And to the Promotion of Self-Culture and General Education The leading features in the present Volume of the British Controversialist will be found in strict harmony with those of its precursors, and nothing of a minor character has been introduced requiring special notice or explanation. The debates have already excited more than usual interest: that on Spiritual Manifestations is remarkably full and exhaustive - that on Sunday School Instruction is peculiarly Opportune at a time when so much attention is given to the results of all educational efl'orts - while those on the Deluge, and the National Independence of Poland, will commend themselves to the thoughtful perusal of all our readers. Nor can the outline arguments which occupy the pages of the Tapic be regarded with indifference by any, bestudded as they are with so many gems of thought and seeds of truth. It is a source of sincere gratification that our valued friend and coadjutor, Mr. Neil, has been enabled uninterruptedly, from the commencement of this work to the present time, to render us his services; and the erudite articles he has con tributed to the present Volume greatly enhance its value, and must increase its popularity. The numerous contributions we have to acknowledge from other pens, though discussing many and varied subjects, have all, we believe, the same tendency to evoke thought, promote mental culture, and foster a love for literature and literary pursuits.
