“ Dorman’s tracts cited below for Chapter XII. are still the most powerful attack on “Exclusive” principles.
CHAPTER X The writings of J. N. Darby and W. Kelly are the most reliable testimony as to the ecclesiastical principles of Darbyism. For a comparatively short and thoroughly authoritative account, Kelly’s Six Lectures is best. From an adverse point of view, Dorman’s tracts (see below under Chapter XII.) are best. My chapter has been principally written from personal knowledge, except as to the facts of the Walworth-Sheffield discipline. ”

“ P. F. Hall, Discipleship (a long tract, throwing much light on the religious point of view of the first Brethren) . S. P. Tregelles, Three Letters to the Author of “A Retrospect, etc.” W. H. Dorman, Reasons for Retiring from the Dissenters. This tract (published 1838) I have not seen; the writer’s point of view may be gathered from his Way of Truth in Evil Times (1856) . G. Müller’s Narrative of the Lord’s Dealings, with which the Memoir of Henry Craik may be read, is of the utmost value. Darby, first ten tracts in Collected Writings.
CHAPTER IV A. N. Groves’ Memoir (Groves) , as before. ”

“ A tract in opposition to Darby and his school appeared in 1868, entitled The Recent Doctrines of the Five; but it has been justly criticised as unpardonably inaccurate. The literature of this controversy was very extensive.
CHAPTER XIV The literature bearing on the period of this chapter and the next is still voluminous. A few of the most important tracts are here mentioned. It is impossible to give all the rest that have been consulted, and unsatisfactory to make a further selection. Of the events related in this chapter the present writer has had personal knowledge. ”
