Excerpt from Theodore Parker: A Lecture
Those who know Mr. Johnson's great work, Oriental Religions, need not to be told of the thorough reach of his studies. India, China, Persia, a triad of Universal Religion, attest his spiritual genius. Their general title fails to indicate the scope of critical research which deals not only with the religion, but likewise with the history and civilization of great races.
The men and women who enjoyed Mr. Johnson's personal ministrations as a teacher of Religion in the widest range of thought and in the tenderest of private relations cherish his large discourse and his strengthening applications of spiritual philosophy to the common needs of life. Such a man was well fitted to be the interpreter of Theodore Parker. This little book is made up from four several writings of the Lecture, by careful collating of the manuscripts for their best result. Alterations and transpositions for full consecutive treatment do not, it is believed, in any case, violate Mr. Johnson's meaning.
This editing has been a glad labor of love. The editors have been much assisted by Mrs. Nora R. Baldwin and Miss Anne Montgomerie.
