Notes
This volume includes discussions of the 1857 understanding of Judaism , Paganism , "Mohammedanism ;" and a multitude of sects within the major Protestant sect
"The Religious world is divided into denominations, each of which is distinguished by sentiments peculiar to itself. To delineate the nature, point out the foundation, and appreciate the tendency of every individual opinion, would be an endless task. Our design in this volume has been to describe the leading tenets of the several religions of our own country. From such a task we think two great advantages may be secured. The one is to show the truth of Bishop Watson's opinion, that a "Great lesson which every sect, and every indi vidual of every sect, ought to learn from the history of the church is Moderation." "The other advantage to be derived from a volume like this is, that when we oppose any sect from which we differ, we may at least be acquainted with the history and principles against which we argue."
