Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

In 1847–1848 appeared his History of Bampton, 2 vols., and in 1852 his History of Witney and some neighbouring Parishes. While at Bampton, in 1850 he published Hebrew Records on the age and authenticity of the books of the Old Testament, and in 1854 Christian Records on the Age, Authorship, and Authenticity of the Books of the New Testament,
in which he contended, in a preface dated 26 October 1853, that the
"Gospels and Acts were not in existence before the year 150", and
remarks that "the objections of ancient philosophers, Celsus, Porphyry,
and others, were drowned in the tide of orthodox resentment" (see Letters of the Bishop of Oxford and Dr. J. A. G., published in a separate volume).[2] A review of Giles' 1854 Christian Records,[6][7]
states, "His [Giles] object is to establish ...that the historical
books of the New Testament are without any evidence, external or
internal, of origin from an apostolical period or source ; and abound in irreconcilable discrepancies."[8]

The testimony of Justin Martyr who wrote his "Apology for the Christians" in A.D. 151  ...does
not name a single writer of the eight, who are said to have written the
books of the New Testament. The very names of the evangelists Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John, are never mentioned by him —do
not occur once in all his works. It is therefore not true that he has
quoted from our existing Gospels, and so proves their existence, as they
now are, in his own time.[9][10]

Trübner & Company. p. 122. The testimony of Justin Martyr who wrote his "Apology for the Christians" in A.D. 151, must remove all doubt that the four evangelic histories were already in his time the basis of Christian teaching and the exclusive record of Christ's life and miracles. Such also is the common opinion respecting the origin of the Gospels : taking for granted the report made by Lardner, and from him copied into the "Evidences of Christianity", few persons have ever compared the report with the original witnesses ; and never felt a misgiving that statements could, even unintentionally, be so perverted. Justin does not name a single writer of the eight, who are said to have written the books of the New Testament. The very names of the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are never mentioned by him —do not occur once in all his works. It is therefore not true that he has quoted from our existing Gospels, and so proves their existence, as they now are, in his own time.
