Excerpt from The Conflict of Duties: And Other Essays
In offering to the general public any work originally intended for a small and private audience, one feels bound to introduce it with a word of apology. My apology is simply this: that I found among friends and pupils who had heard these papers some who desired to possess them in a permanent form; - and also that I ventured to hope that what had proved suggestive and helpful to them might be of use and of interest to others also.
A word or two on the original purpose of these papers is required to explain their general character. With the exception of two (that on "Truthfulness," read to the college section of the British College Christian Union, and that on "Christianity as a Historical Religion," not written for any particular occasion), they have all been read at the Sunday afternoon meetings of a society of students of Newnham College. The members of this society were not all of one way of thinking or of up-bringing; - they belonged to various Churches or to no Church, pursued various lines of study, and differed greatly in their acquaintance with the world and with books.
