I say that I was impelled to undertake this work, and I use the term advisedly. The God who called me to preach the Gospel from the pulpit, has also called me to write this book - which, indeed, is but preaching the Gospel in another and a more comprehensive form. Ofthis I have no doubt whatever. Under this conviction I have written it; by this conviction I have been sustained amid many difficulties incident to the writing Of such a book: and I send it forth in the full persuasion that it will tend to promote truth and righteousness, freedom and justice, and the cause of social progress in general.
