Rev. T. J. Conant, D. D., (Baptist,) says:
It is an honest book: dealing fairly with the unlearned reader, and laying before him without concealment or disguise, what is patent to the Scholar, in the just belief that what is SAFE for the one is SAFE for the other.
Rev. W. Croswell Doane, (Episcopal,) says:
While he (Prof. Stowe) disposes of some so-called difficulties in an off-hand and popular way, one feels that he is amply able to meet them upon a level of more accurate arguing.... Free entirely from the levity of irreverence.
Rev. Joel Hawes, D. D., (Congregationalist, a venerable Clergyman now deceased,) said:
I am prepared to give it my hearty commendation.
Rev. E. N. Kirk, D. D., (the eminent revivalist,) says:
It is the best adapted to make the canon intelligible to our people, of any [book] I have read.
President Joseph Cummings, D. D., of Wesleyan University, (Methodist,) says:
I recommend, without hesitation or reserve, Rev. Dr. Stowe's work.... I am fully persuaded it will accomplish much good.
