William Miller’s Apology and Defence, August 1

Mr. Miller’s Apology and Defence.
To All Who Love The Lord Jesus Christ In Sincerity.

As all men are responsible to the community for the sentiments they may promulgate, the public has a right to expect from me, a candid statement in reference to my disappointment in not realizing the Advent of Christ in A. D. 1843-4, which I had confidently believed. I have therefore, considered it not presumptuous in me to lay before the Christian public a retrospective view of the whole question, the motives that actuated me, and the reasons by which I was guided. WMAD 2.1
