Note 73 — Chapter XVIII
Reading edition
Feb. 21st, 1850.—“Professor Henslow has sent me an amusing reply to a letter from the Lord’s Day Society, requesting him to procure from his parish a petition in favour of total abolition. Mr. Henslow tells them, ‘Under the old dispensation I would willingly have joined you in such a petition, but as a Christian, I feel I ought not.’”—Sir R. Hill’s Journal.—Ed.
