Excerpt from The Spirit of Christianity: An Essay on the Christian Hypothesis
This book though written more than forty years ago in the middle of the authors life has not been published until now - four years after his death. When in 1876 a few copies were printed "for private use only," no preface was needed, for it passed straight from the author to his friends and through them to others, without in any case losing that personal touch with himself which ensured an understanding of his aim in writing it and also of his reason for refraining at the time from publishing it.
In yielding now to the wish expressed in several quarters for its wider circulation, and to my own desire to add it to the little row of volumes that must represent my fathers contribution to the thought and knowledge of his generation, I am most anxious to guard it from misunderstanding.
