Excerpt from Review of the "Doctrines of the Church" "Vindicated From the Misrepresentations Of" "Dr. John Rice" And the Integrity of Revealed Religion Defended Against the 'No Comment Principle' of Promiscuous Bible Societies, by the Right Rev'd John S. Ravenscroft, D. D. Bishop of the Diocese of North-Carolina It is easy to see, that in a society such as this, there is but little room for the exercise of government, in the common acceptatio'n of the term.
