Excerpt from Prize Essays on the Temporal Advantages of the Sabbath: Considered in Relation to the Working Classes, Containing Heaven's Antidote, the Torch of Time, and the Pearl of Days
The fact of our author being a working man, though undoubted amongst his own townsmen, is just that very one which it becomes us chie y to certify our readers respecting. The Edinburgh Witness, a periodical of considerable in uence and power, has not hesitated to say of this Essay, that it is one which any writer of any age might rejoice to have composed. And, as this is not only high, but deserved praise, it may excite doubts in the minds of some as to whether it really be the original and unaided production of the person it is represented as having been written by. It is not merely the public at large who are interested in this fact, as a remarkable literary incident; but all the fellow-competitors of our author are concerned to know that they have been dealt faithfully by in the adjudication, and that none but those justly entitled to a standing therein have been admitted to competition. But even more than all this, the holy and solemn cause itself in which these Essays have been written, demands imperatively of us that wexvi introduction.
