Book Description
Excerpt from The Double Witness of the Church The circumstances under which this Volume was written, are briefly these. The last winter, it is well known, was a season of strange excitement among the different denominations throughout our land. At such a time - as the best safeguard against this injurious influence - the writer thought it well to deliver to the people of his charge, a course of Lectures, plainly setting forth the distinctive principles of the Church. They were continued through ten successive Sunday evenings; and he had reason to believe that the effect produced was beneficial. The Lectures were originally prepared without the most distant idea of publication. Having, however, been requested by the vestry, as well as by others in whose judgment he is accustomed to rely, to furnish the series for the press, the writer did not feel at liberty to decline. He has, therefore, availed himself of what hours of leisure he could find amidst the engrossing cares of Parish duty, to expand some parts of the course and to add the necessary references. The result of his attempt is seen in this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
