May writes in a preface to his notes, "Note. I purposed to supply the material you requested, for an Advocate notice of the Unitarians, in a more connected and better-arranged form. But I will not longer delay; perhaps in its present shape you can use it quite as well as in any other. As I have had no time to make a copy of this, will you send it back to me, when you have made what use you wish of it? P.S. I have taken much pains to have it correct."
