Excerpt from The British Controversialist, Vol. 1: And Impartial Inquirer; Established for the Purpose of Forming a Suitable Medium for the Deliberate Discussion of Important Questions in Religion, Philosophy, History, Politics, Social Economy, Etc It appears necessary at the commencement of our work that we should pledge ourselves to the course we intend to pursue with respect to all controversy conducted in our pages and we therefore state, once for all, that that course will be one of strict neutrality. We shall not adopt any sect or party as our own; nor even announce our own decision at the conclusion of a discussion. We shall endeavour to place the argu ments on both sides of a question fairly before our readers, and then leave them to draw their Own conclusions. We aspire to no higher office than to hold the scales of justice with a steady hand, then to allow men whose opinions differ to place those opinions and the reasons in support of them in either scale, so that they, and others also, may have an Opportunity of seeing which side preponderates.' Men of different sects and parties have too long kept apart as enemies, instead Of meeting and consulting together as brethren and friends.

Excerpt from The British Controversialist, and Impartial Inquirer, 1854, Vol. 5: Established for the Purpose of Forming a Suitable Medium for the Deliberate Discussion of Important Questions in Religion, Philosophy, History, Politics, Social Economy, Etc Again we sit down to pen a few introductory lines to another, and that the Fifth, Volume of the British Controversialist. During the past year we have diligently addressed our selves to the discharge of our literary duties; our Magazine has regularly appeared on the first of each month; and now that the year has drawn to a close the Volume has risen like some goodly edifice before us, and all that remains for us to do is to construct the porch like Preface, and inscribe a few words on the tabletary Title Page.
