Excerpt from A Calm Review of the Inaugural Address of Prof. Charles a Briggs

No address delivered of late years on the platform of any among our Theological Seminaries has attracted so much attention or excited such varied comment as the one whose consideration is now proposed. This interest is due in part to the special prominence of the Institution where the address was delivered, and to the nature and purpose of the new Professorship at the time endowed and established, and in part also to the high standing of the speaker as one of the foremost scholars on the continent in particular lines of study and instruction. What was said in the address on certain doctrinal questions of great importance, and especially on some matters which are just now exciting controversy among us, doubtless tended to increase this interest. There are also some elements in the existing condition of Protestant thought generally, in the apparently transitional character of the period, in the popular disaffection toward old methods and opinions, in the extensive desire for what is novel and even revolutionary in the domain of theology, which have contributed still further to such interest. And these exceptional features of the case - easily recognized by all - will furnish, it is believed, whatever justification is needful for a sincere, faithful, earnest examination of this remarkable address, as it is now in an authoritative form published for general inspection.
