Dr Carpenter : Notes and Observations on the Gospel History
Harriet Martineau on Bible studies in early adulthood: 'I studied the Bible incessantly and immensely; both by daily reading of chapters [...] and by getting hold of all commentaries and works of elucidation that I could lay my hands on. A work of Dr. Carpenter's, begun but never finished, called "Notes and Observations on the Gospel History" [...] first put me on this track of study [...] It was while reading Mr. Kenrick's translation from the German of "Helon's Pilgrimage to Jerusalem," with which I was thoroughly bewitched, that I conceived [...] the audacious idea of giving a somewhat resembling account of the Jews and their country, under the immediate expectation of the Messiah, and even in his presence'.

Dr Carpenter : Articles: Mental and Moral Philosophy & Systemic Education
"Dr Carpenter was inclined also to the study of philosophy,and wrote on it,-on mental and moral philosophy;and this was enough,putting all predisposition out of the question,to determine me to the study. He was of the Locke and Hartley school altogether, as his articles on 'Mental and Moral Philosophy' in Ree's Encyclopedia,and his work on 'Systemic Education' show."
