NEARLY a month having elapsed after the publication of the fourth number of the Quarterly Series of the "Friend of India" before it happened to reach me, and other avocations and objects having subsequently engaged my attention, I have not, till lately, had leisure to examine the laborious Essay on the doctrines of the Trinity and Atonement at the conclusion of that Magazine, offered in refutation of my "Second Appeal to the Christian Public." For the able and condensed view of the arguments in support of those doctrines, which that publication presents, I have to offer the Reviewer my best thanks, though the benefit I have derived from their perusal is limited to a corroboration of my former sentiments.
