Schaffs Work on Church History " and " Dr. Schaff as a Church Historian, " New Brunswick Review, 1854, pp. 1-63, 278-325.
CHAP, vii GERMAN LANGUAGE IN AMERICA 167 Reformed Church, which tried to prove the author dis- qualified for the work of a historian by narrowness of mind, self-complacency, a poetic and romantic sentimental- ism and an excessive admiration of German literature. To these elements of unfitness was added a strong Romanizing tendency. Was this not evident from the praise of Dr.... Brownson, the Roman Catholic editor, "that Dr. SchafFs history was the best history of the church which had pro- ceeded from a Protestant pen " ? In fact, the work was nothing more nor less than a historical plea for the papacy.
A minute review of these criticisms in the New York Observer (June, 1855) written by a scholar, understood to be Dr. Henry B. Smith, closed with the statement that no theological student could afford to be without Dr. Schaff's book.
These attacks found little favor and the History of the Apostolic Church established the theological position of its author beyond controversy before the American public.
