This book is the record of a debate held at Oxford University in 1897 by noted scholars of the day. Edward Miller was the assistant to Dean John William Burgon. He printed the text of the debate with the approval of the participants. The debate was about the two methods of textual criticism: (1) the method of Bishop B. F. Westcott and F. J. A.
