Item description from seller

Small folio, 1 p. Twenty-seven lines of text. Clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged and worn paper, with thin strip from previous mounting adhering at head of reverse, which, with two small red wax seals and two postmarks, is addressed to 'John Watson Esqr. | No. 55 & 56 | Near St. Andrew's Ch. | Holborn Hill | London'. The text is entirely devoted to the subject under the heading. In a neat exposition of his position, Alexander proposes and defends three changes. The substitution of 'promulgation' for 'promotion' would, 'as our worthy friend Dr. Channing probably would say', have 'a more quickening effect'. The greater part of the document relates to the substitution of 'Christian Unitarianism' for 'Unitarian Christianity'. (According to his obituary in 'The Christian Reformer', Alexander 'distributed 20,000 copies of a little tract called "Christian Unitarianism"'.).
