Excerpt from Quaint and Historic Forts of North America It is, perhaps, as well to state that this work has been done with the knowledge of the War Department of the United States, which has very kindly allowed me to reproduce some of the pictures in its archives and has greatly helped me with my researches in its public records. When I have visited those few points of his toric significance still occupied by the army I have been very courteously shown all points of interest not of pres ent military value and have been allowed to photograph scenes which I desired to record which would have no worth to an enemy of the country.

Excerpt from The Synagogue and the Church: Being an Attempt to Show That the Government, Ministers, and Services of the Church, Were Derived From Those of the Synagogue This has been very generally overlooked (at least in the present day), and hence little knowledge or curiosity respecting Synagogues is to be found, and the Temple being imagined by some to be the model Of Christian Churches, the ministry and services Of the Church have been exalted in a manner quite inconsistent with the religion Of Jesus; thus in direct opposition to Scripture, Christian Churches have been called Temples - the ministers, Priests (hie reis, Sacerdotes) - the communion tables.

Excerpt from Charity and the Clergy: Being a Review, by a Protestant Clergyman, of the "New Themes" Controversy; Together With Sundry Serious Reflections Upon the Religious Press, Theological Seminaries, Ecclesiastical Ambition, Growth of Moderatism, Prostitution of Pulpit The writer of these pages is not aware that he holds any doctrine which deserves to be called infidel or heretical; but as candid criticism is not tolerated in our orthodox re ligious periodicals (with which alone he could affiliate), he feels driven to this mode of ad dressing the public. He comments freely, and at times severely, upon the religious press itself; also upon theological education, the state of religion in the churches, and various clerical and ecclesiastical practices - all of which are regarded as needing reform.
