Présentation de l'éditeur :
To ministers of the Gospel of every name, I would make an earnest appeal. You hold an oflice greatly and deservedly honoured ;but more honoured in its origin than men can honour it. These Societies have your favour, and could not long exist without it. You speak for them ;you buy their books, and you take up contributions of charity for them. I ask you to consider the case, and what I have stated. It is certain that the public pays more for what charity does than the same would cost when produced by individual means and enterprise ;and that it is, therefore, a bad economy of sacred funds. It is certain that such use of these funds does a wrcng to individuals engaged in this branch of business, and drives a large amount of capital out of it, and causes it to be invested in ])ublishing injurious books. This is a great and growing evil. Far too many religious books and childrens books are published by these societies. This results from their compciition to do business. Nothing can be more worldly than their manner of doing business. They encroach upon each other. For instance, the Tract Society, in her zeal to do aU things, publishes a class of juvenile and illustrated l)O oks, which are fast supplying the field of die American Sunday School Union. The former, so far as the interests of religion arc concerned, does more than enough in this de])artment. I ut I will add no more liere, but simply ask every rc adcr candidly to consider what I liave to say. If tliere is truth in it, if the wrongs and evils, whicli I here j)roclaiin, are half true, let these societies go ;let them perish as expedients that have been tried till they are no longer useful ;till the princii)k on which they rest is known to be evil, and to be working evil more and more.
