Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theophilus Americanus, or Instruction for the Young Student, Concerning the Church, and the American Branch of It
The Author trusts that these statements, the truth and importance of which have been for some time forcibly impressed on him by practical experience, may be thought to justify the endeavour of which the result is now before the reader; and also that the considerations, which have been mentioned, may serve to account, not only for the materials here presented to the scholar, but also for the form in which they appear, particularly as regards the extracts annexed to the Answers in the volume.
It will readily be perceived, that these Answers are not intended to be committed to memory, but that the design is, that the teacher should exercise the scholar, or that the scholar should exercise himself by first reading a chapter through, translating the extracts as he proceeds, and by then reverting more than once seriatim to the question for subjects of subsequent examination.
