A fascinating volume. By a bold pioneer. By a real Christian scholar.

George Bush (June 12, 1796 – September 19, 1859) Was a relative of 2 USA Presidents who bore his name.

Born in Vermont, Bush graduated from Dartmouth in 1818 and then studied theology at Princeton, where he was a tutor 1823–1824. He spent four years as a Christian missionary in Indiana, and in 1831 became professor of Hebrew and Oriental Literature at New York University.^

The section here, page 57ff, on the imaginary subject of "the office of deacon" is especially enlightening and long overdue.
