Excerpt from The Baptist Movement in the Continent of Europe: A Contribution to Modern History
The preparation of this book was undertaken in the early of last year at the request of the Publication Departments of the Baptist Missionary Society and the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland, and the original intention was to issue it in the autumn of 1914. Its appearance has, however, been postponed for several months owing to the outbreak of the war, which has made it impossible to obtain the manuscripts of some who had promised their co-operation, and has in other cases involved serious postal delays. Moreover, the Editor was himself detained abroad for the three months immediately following the opening of hostilities.
For the plan of the book and the selection of contributors the Editor is responsible. He has also written the introductory chapter and the Appendix, translated Chapters II. and III. of Part I., and so far revised the work of all his coadjutors as to ensure consistency and eliminate needless repetitions.
