Dr . J . P . Smith's " Scripture Testimony to the Messiah , " is a work which has attained to the highest reputation , not only within the pale of the particular sect to which the author belongs , but amongst all classes of believers in the doctrines of reputed orthodoxy . It is certainly to be ranked amongst the ablest defences of those doctrines which have ever appeared . Learned , ingenious , and laborious , it deserves the attention of all who are
interested in the great controversy to which it relates : and if the irresistible tendency of the system he defends , and the perverting prejudices to which it gives occasion , have led the author often to treat his opponents with great real injustice , there are also indications of kind feelings , and of a desire to act towards them with candour and Christian meekness , which may with many persons give more weight to his censures , rendering them , when founded in error or misrepresentation , more dangerous , if not more

Belsbam , and it is in reference more particularly ( though by no means exclusively ) to this object , that we now propose to examine his volumes—not that we would bold up Mr . Belsham ' s work as faultless either in plan or execution—not , certainly , that we consider the
great body of Christians who adopt the sentiments he defends , as answerable for the mistakes into which he may have fallen or the improper spirit which he is accused of having manifested—but his work being honestly esteemed by us an able and satisfactory treatise on a very important subject , written under the influence of an enlightened , disinterested , and impartial love of truth ; and the effect it has produced upon the minds of many
