Excerpt from Campbellism Exposed, in an Examination of Lard's Review of Jeter

So soon as Campbellism Examined made its appearance, all the journals in. The interest Of the current reformation, commenced a furious attack on it. The vials of their wrath were mercilessly poured on the head of the devoted author. In thisonslaught the Millennial Harbinger, edited by Mr. A. Campbell, took 'the lead. Everything was. Said to disparage the book and its author. It was represented as being false in its statements, feeble in its arguments, mean in its spirit, and, on the whole, unworthy of notice. As the work, how ever, had been respectably indorsed, it Was deemed necessary to review it. Mr. Campbell undertook the task himself, not thinking it wise. To commit it to feebler or less practiced hands. He commenced his review with the premise of the speedy and utter. Refutation of the volume, and even thank ful for the opportunity of exposing its errors. There was no indication of the lack of zeal, or of time, for the redemp tion of the pledge. Through nine tedious numbers, and many other extended articles, in the Harbinger, did he labor to discredit the statements, refute the arguments, and disparage the author of Campbellism Examined. Suddenly new light broke upon his mind. He became dissatisfied with his re view. He was writing it under great disadvantages._ The exigencies of the case demanded that he should prepare a book. That he had failed to redeem the promise, so vaunt ingly made, his most partial friends could not but perceive. They were all satisfied, however, that what was not done in the prolix review in the Harbinger, would be thoroughly done in the forthcoming book.
