Excerpt from Papers Read Before the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, on Resigning His Office as Professor of Theology in the Western Theological Seminary: With a Few Notes, Since Appended Unfounded reports of an injurious character, circulated in regard to the author's conduct, east and west of the moun tains, have induced him to publish these papers for the use of his friends. Many heard them read before the General Assembly, and many others did not. He thinks, and so he has been told, that a perusal of them will be a gratification to his friends. It is a satisfaction to the writer to know that not a single fact stated in his papers was disputed.
