Excerpt from The Celebrated Answer to the Rev. C. Lesley's Case Stated, Between the Church of Rome and the Church of England: Printed Word for Word, and Refuted Sentence After Sentence In offering the celebrated Reply of the Rev. Robert Manning to the consideration of the Catholics and Protestants of England, Ireland, and Scotland, the publisher feels that he should not be totally silent. The Rev. C. Lesley's Work is a dialogue between a Catholic Lord and a Protestant Gentleman, in which the author personates the Protestant gentleman, and also answers for the Catholic nobleman, who, under his interested tutelage and absolute dominion, is constrained to give the most imperfect, and in some cases the most absurd, replies to the chosen and captious objections of his wily antagonist - nay, the assumed and fictitious Catholic lord seems to have been brought on the stage for no other purpose but to be laughed at, and to set off the imaginary triumph of his uncandid adversary. There is, however, an old proverb - it is an Irish one too - "One story is good till the other is told." In the present book Manning takes the place of Lesley's supposed Catholic lord - prints Lesley's Work word for word, and refutes it sentence by sentence. The publisher, therefore, contemplates obtaining the approbation of the Protestant as well as the Catholic.
