In 1855 this short anonymous booklet arrived in the mail, and set off a firestorm.  As the controversy erupted, Samuel Simon Schmucker claimed this work as his own - not to anyone's surprize.

The Subject is the title of this work on the Title page.  The cover, however, has the much shorter title "Definite Synodical Platform".

In releasing this, I by no means wish to say I endorse it.  I do, however, recognize the historical value of this text.  This is the book answered by Mann's Plea and Hoffman's Broken Platform, which I released earlier.

Source is http://replica.palni.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/copebooks/id/845  It was a remarkably clean OCR.
