Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Construction of Sheepfolds Many persons will probably find fault with me for publishing Opinions which are not new: but I shall bear this blame content edly, believing that Opinions on this subject could hardly be just if they were not 1800 years old. Others will blame me for making proposals which are altogether new; to whom I would answer, that things in these days seem not so far right but that they may be mended. And others will simply call the Opinions false and the proposals foolish - to whose good will, if they take it in hand to contradict me, I must leave what I have written - having no purpose of being drawn, at present, into religious controversy. If, however, any should admit the truth, but regret the tone of what I have said, I can only pray them to consider how much less harm is done in the world by ungraceful boldness, than by untimely Fear.
