The substance of the arguments both by Dr. Sleigh and his opponents was faithfully and.impartially taken down-on the spot, and has been carefully revised, so that this publication will contain the arguments and objections of both parties.— Moreover Dr. Sleigh will add copious critical, historical, and explanatory notes and also nu. memos incotitrovettible arguments in favor of Divine Revelation, some of which, it is thought, will be found to be original and never before publiattecl, rebutting and rv.futing the most pow erful objections 41111 the Infidels that ever lived. The Publishers, in soliciting patronage for this wot k, present herewith the 'introduction," which furnishes many interesting particulars re specting the discussion. They also subjoin some articles which appeared in the public pa pers during its progress. If any other proof of the importance of the arguments advanced by Dr. Sleigh' were neces sary than the glorious and triumphant result of the "Discussion," it is presumed that the testi monials of the most eminent clergymen and out er distinguished gentlemen of New York hetkin contained, would suffice.
