The advocates of the truth and excellence of the Romish religion, and its consequent obligation upon all human beings, have found it necessary, from time to time, to bestir themselves in its defence. They have prepared, and put into circulation, various books ; some large and pretentious, in the way of quoting (after their rather unique manner) authorities ; others (and chiefly) the smaller manuals or handy books, and Catechisms, intended mostly for the uneducated, the working classes, etc. These latter furnish numerous readers with popery in the concrete, and are based almost wholly upon assertions, guesses, assumptions, etc. Unwilling to make the present a large or bulky volume, instead of one which any intelligent reader can readily handle, we have come to the conclusion that it will be best and fairest, all round, to select two or three popular, approved volumes, issued by Romish controversialists, in repeated editions, and to show how they labor to support their claims and pretensions before the world, at the very close of this nineteenth century.2. We begin, then, with a stout octavo (pp. 520), entitled " The Faith of Catholics" (i.e., of the papalsort). It was first published some seventy-five to eighty years ago, and has held a place of honor among Romish folk ever since, as the work of an esteemed priest, belonging to the schismatic branch of Rome in England, Rev. J. Berington. He was aided by Rev. J. Kirk, a fellow-priest, and the joint work of these two has gained much credit, and is sometimes referred to as unanswerable. The avowed design of Berington and Kirk is to prove, by Holy Scripture and the fathers of the first five centuries, that the Romish faith is the one only true faith. The dark and drear... ...

I went to school, in Trinity School building, corner of Varick and Canal Streets. The Rev. Dr. Edmund Barry was at its head, a very able and successful teacher some fifty to sixty years ago in New York City. I began the study of Latin and Greek, and as I have, I believe, an aptitude for linguistics, I made both rapid and satisfactory progress. This was in 1833-34. In this latter year I was confirmed by Bishop Benjamin T. Onderdonk, then in his best days, and was admitted to the Lord's Table, with all its precious privileges.Columbia was the college for which I was preparing. At that date -- more than fifty years ago -- it was located in a charming spot of ground, fronting on what is now College Place, and between Murray and Barclay Streets. The original level was preserved, and noble trees stood on the lawn, shading the College buildings. These buildings were in a line, facing to the south, with houses atthe ends for the president and three professors, the recitation-rooms being in between. Some twenty years later, the pressure became too strong to allow the keeping this valuable property out of business demands, and so, in 1857, the College was removed to Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, where it now is. The academic year in my day began on the first Monday in October, and ended in July following.Having given myself diligently to the requir... ... Read more
