The Compiler ' s preliminary attestation-to the value of the doctrine , well deserves a place in the Repository . . " More than thirty years hare passed since my attention " was first attracted to the consideration of Final Universal
Restoration . The firm belief , that this pleasing doctrine is in perfect unison with every thing we find in the Sacred Scriptures , has carried me with more than ordinary composure and
resignation through some of the most trying events of life ; and now in the eighty-second year of my age , has determined me to select and bring together passages from sundry publications , such as . have appeared to me abundantly sufficient to establish it . " I observe that Dr , Carpenter in his third and much improved edition of " Unitarianism the Doctrine of the Gospel , " while of opinion that the Christian revelation was not intended to disclose at first the final issue of all , expresses his conviction , that "it accords best with the nature of
