How much does Lucas spend on Dabney's Systematic Theology?

He does not go through it in detail, but he does talk about it.

Guess I'll have to buy the book but is Lucas "fair" to it or critical?

There is a review of Lucas's book by Southern Presbyterian scholar Nick Willborn in The Confessional Presbyterian 2 (2006) 172-175.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

In my opinion, Dabney's ST suffers from being far too philosophical at the beginning, so it is hard to read cover to cover.
