number of passages both from the Old and New Testaments are adduced; but the
whole is guided by a determined, wrong-headedness, which adopts the most
fallacious and inconclusive reasoning merely because it ends favourably, and
refuses to see its errors, however plainly pointed out. This controversy must
have proved a severe trial to Pfander's temper; and if flippant
contradictions, false insinuations, and bitter scoffs, may have occasionally
led him to severe remarks, it is not to be wondered at; on the contrary, we
are surprised at the calm and candid manner which he preserved throughout. We
should like to see the whole printed with appropriate remarks; but Pfander is,
perhaps, wise in keeping, back any further publication until he shall have
seen his adversaries' replies; then, we understand, he intends to come forward
with a general and complete refutation.
