Excerpt from Who Was St. Titus?: The Scripture Notices on the Subject Compared With Received Opinions

The Supposition put forward in the following pages as to the identity of ss. Timothy and Titus will naturally be regarded by most readers as a very strange and paradoxical one. The writer, however, has not ventured to place it before the public, without having previously submitted the argument in its favour to the consideration of many of those friends, on whose information, judgment, and candour, he could place most reliance; but the manner in which it has been received by them generally has been such as to encourage a very strong hope, that however slow religious and sensible Christians may be to accept the novel Hypothesis now suggested to them, they will yet be disposed to regard the publication of this Essay with favour, and find it both interesting and instructive. Neither has it been committed to the press without earnest prayer that the great Head of the Church may accompany it with His blessing, as a means of increasing among His people the knowledge and understanding of His own Word, and may prevent it from furnishing occasion of injury or offence to the least of the members of Christ our Lord.
