The return volley in a small local drama. The Stranger in Reading, by John Man, offered a variety of strong opinions on all manner of topics concerning the town, and consequentially stirred up a significant amount of offense. From the preface of this work: "Really, the pamphlet, which I have scarcely skimmed, is a production which may point out some abuses and appropriate correctives, but is at the same time such a sinner against style, fact, and principle, that nothing but its local influence seems to justify the honour [of a response]. Such works must perish." Gauntlett wrote this work in rebuttal, and defends the educational institutions and general level of ignorance of the population, religious life (with much about the Methodists, Calvinists, and Baptists), and local clubs and organizations.
