Synopsis

Excerpt from An Exposition of Modern Spiritualism: Showing Its Tendency to a Total Annihilation of Christianity; With Other Miscellaneous Remarks and Criticisms, in Support of the Fundamental Principles of the Christian Religion

The author being a member of the society of Friends, wishes it distinctly under stood, that he alone is for the sentiments contained in the exposition of his ws. I consider the censorship of the press inimical to civil and religious liberty, and anti-republican in its tendency. There are certain inalienable rights that attaches to every rational, intelligent being, that cannot be surrendered Without an infringe ment on the prerogative, or free agency of man. Or of being prejudicial to the best Interests of society; to be circumscribed within the narrow limits of the judgment of a few individuals, whose Opinions are perhaps often at variance with each other. The e being no criterion or standard of Judgment safer than public Opinion, the author pleads' the liberty of unfolding his own thoughts to an intelligent community, by the agency of the press, unshackled by censors even of the highest order of intellectual endow ments vouchsafed to a rational being. An unrestrained freedom of sentiment on all subjects interesting to the mind of man, is the birthright of every Individual, while pub lic opinion will decide upon the merits of every production, and mankind would be left free to select from the mass of testimony, that which. Standard of righteousness, and the advancement of the ra dignify the rational and immortal soul of man.
