Excerpt from The Church Identified: By a Reference to the History of Its Origin, Perpetuation and Extension Into the United States In sending forth this Edition of The Church Identified, I hardly know whether to call it the second or the third. The Work consists of a series of Articles, which appeared in "the Churchman" during the Autumn and Winter of 1848-9. This was the first "Edition" or "giving forth" of the Work to the public. The Articles were so kindly received that a proposal was soon made to issue an edition in a hook form, with a specific reference to its circulation in the Diocese of Western New York. That edition consisted of only one thousand copies, and was exhausted almost at once. I now send forth the Work a third time in a form, and under circumstances, as I trust, calculated to give it a much wider circulation, and to supply it in larger quantities. Hence this is really the third "editio" or "edition." In preparing this edition I have carefully considered all the criticisms and suggestions concerning it which have come to my knowledge. In some cases I have rewritten a paragraph or statement, and expanded it without adding anything more than what seemed necessary to guard against the misapprehension into which readers had fallen concerning my meaning and design. In other cases I have noticed that an important point, did not make the impression which it ought to make in order that the force of the argument might be duly appreciated. This defect I have also endeavored to remedy so far as I could, either by resorting to a new arrangement of the matter, or a new form of the statement.
