Excerpt from A Discussion on Slaveholding: Three Letters to a Conservative, and Three Conservative Replies The Letters of Dr. Armstrong to Dr. Van Rensselaer were occasioned by a brief notice of Dr. Armstrong's book "On the Scripture Doctrine of Slavery, " in the Presbyterian Magazine for September, 1857. Dr. Armstrong's Letters originally appeared in the "Central Presbyterian, " published in Richmond, Va. They were afterwards transferred to the pages of the "Presbyterian Magazine, " and the Replies by Dr. Van Rensselaer appeared simultaneously with each Letter, in three numbers of that periodical. The three Letters and the three Replies were printed in pamphlet form, in April last. But a copy having been sent to Dr. Armstrong before circulation, he objected to the publication of the Series without certain Rejoinders, which he proposed to publish in the Presbyterian Magazine, if permitted to do so. Permission was granted, and hence the publication of the pamphlet has been delayed until the Rejoinders and the Replies to them, have been finally issued. It is due to Dr. Armstrong to say that the delay has been principally owing to circumstances beyond the control of the Editor. It is also proper to add, for the information of strangers, that both the writers are ministers of the Presbyterian Church (Old School).
