Excerpt from Struggles for Life: Or the Autobiography of a Dissenting Minister Or memory may recall, after the lapse of twenty or thirty years of youth and early manhood that invaluable period of being in which, if a man is to do anything in this tumultuous market-place called the world, it must be done, or left undone for ever - scenes of strangely mingled com plexion, having all the colours of the rainbow, without its unity and beauty, and all the variety of a Persian bazaar, without its order and elegance.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Dissenting Minister Domination of any one sect of dissenters. Were the establishment to be destroyed, there would presently be a struggle amongst the sects for dominion and power; and secular enough as dissent already is, it would become greatly more so, if the vast fabric of the church were demolished. In the ensuing pages, there has been no attempt at exaggeration or high colouring, every thing has been set down calmly, and almost literally; care, however, being always taken to avoid every tendency to personality.

Book Description

Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ...suspected that the young Socinian preacher was desirous of obtaining an antagonist merely for the sake of acquiring some celebrity, and making a noise in a quiet town. I consulted with the old gentleman whose pulpit I supplied, and he said, " Let him alone, let him alone, --ten years hence he will either be a Christian or an infidel; he is now neither one nor the other. " Finding that he could not attract a theological notice from thedissenters, the young man tried what he could do with the church, so he attacked the establishment, preached against tithes, the Thirty-nine Articles, and the Athanasian Creed; he also wrote long letters in the county newspaper, insulting the whole body of the clergy, calling them, by implication, knaves or fools, but telling them at the same time, what a great respect he had for their hearts and understandings.

I used very frequently to talk to him about the matter, and to caution him concerning the danger in which he stood; but he replied that it was but fair to hear both sides, and that he was not afraid that his faith could be shaken, and that it was only following the advice of the apostle, to try all things and hold fast that which is best. But I thought that a man could not know much about Christianity if he did not know when he had...
