Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Reformation, Vol. 3: In the Sixteenth Century
Complaints have been made of the delay which has taken place in the publication of this third volume. Some would even have had me not to print the first before the whole was completed. There may be certain superior intellects to which conditions may be prescribed, but there are others whose feebleness must give conditions, and to this class I belong. To publish a volume at one time, at another time when I am able a second volume, and then a third, is the course which my primary duties and hum ble abilities allow me to take. Othe'r circumstances, moreover, have interposed; severe af?ictions have on two occasions inter rupted the composition of this third volume, and concentrated all my affections and all my thoughts on the tomb of beloved children.
The thought that it was my duty to glorify the adorable Master, who addressed those powerful calls to me, and accompanied them with so much divine consolation, could alone have given me the courage necessary to prosecute my labours.
