THE LECTURER’S PREFACE
1868
By perusing the above Preface, the reader will get a clue to the time and circumstance that led to the delivery and publication of these Lectures. In revising them for a new edition, I have done little more than correct the phraseology in a few instances, add a few foot-notes, and replace the last two Lectures by newly-written ones on the same texts and prepared especially for this edition. These lectures are distinct from the course I deliver to my thoological class upon the same subject. That course I may publish before my death. These Leetures have been translated in the Welsh and French languages, and have been extensively circulated wherever the English or either of those languages is understood. One house In London published 80,000 copies In English. They are still in type and in market in Europe, and I have the great satisfacion of knowing that they have been made a great blessing to thoousands of souls. Consequently, I have not thought It wise to recast them for the sake of giving them a more attractive form God has owned and blessed the reading of them as they have been, and with the exceptions above noticed, I have given them to the present and coming generations. If the reader will peruse and remember the foregoing preface, he will understand what I said of the church and some of the ministers, and why I said it. I beseech my brethren not to take amiss what I have mid, but rather to be assured that every sentence has been spoken In love, and often with a sorrowfud heart. May God continue to add His blessing to the reading of these Lectures.
