the same subject, and Ram Mohun Roy was obliged
to establish a printing press of his own * where he
printed the Final Appeal with numerous Hebrew and
Greek quotations.

In 1822 the friends of Dr. Marshman collected
and published his papers in this controversy in London
under the title of "A defence of the Deity and Atonement
of Jesus Christ, in reply to Ram Mohun Roy of Cal-
cuttta, by Dr. Marshman of Serampore." Upon this it
was thought by the Unitarian Society of London ' to
be demanded by truth and justice that Ram Mohun
Roy's pamphlets should also be given to the British
Public,' and they published in 1824 in London the
Precepts of Jesus and the three Appeals, in order " to
give every possible publicity to so learned and able a
defence of the proper unity of God." This volume was
reprinted in America in 1828, and was again printed
in London in July 1834 with the following advertise-
ment : "The former edition of these Treatises, published-
in one volume, in the year 1824, by the London Uni-
tarian Society, had been for some years out of print ;
and although the market had in the interval been sup-
plied to a certain extent with copies of the American
edition, this was found insufficient for the demand which
the Author's appearance in England occasioned. In-
fluenced by this consideration, and by a desire to com-
municate still more widely the impression received in
favour of his splendid attainments and Christian piety,
the Publisher has ventured on the present edition, which

* It was called the Unitarian Press, Dhurrumtola.
