Excerpt from The Hope of Immortality: An Essay Incorporating the Lectures Delivered Before the University of Cambridge Upon the Foundation of the Rev. John Hulse in the Michaelmas Term, 1897 and the Lent Term, 1898
The circumstances in which this Essay has been written will account more or less for its character.
Some time ago the publishers invited me to write a book upon the subject of Immortality. They thought that such a book, if addressed to the intelligence and information not of theological experts especially, but of educated men and women in general, would not be without a certain value, as showing how much of all that renders human life sublime and sacred is involved in the belief that Man is an immortal being.
