Sinopsis

Excerpt from Shadows of the Rood: Or Types of Our Suffering Redeemer Jesus Christ Occuring in the Book of Genesis; Being the Substance of a Series of Moral Discourses Delivered in the Church of the Assumption During the Lent of 1856

I have abstained, very unwillingly, from appending notes to the text: some most tempting opportunities occur in every dis course. But, to have done so would have been a task too great for my little leisure, and would, perhaps, have given an appear ance of erudition to my book beyond its object and purpose. I would, therefore, make one or two short observations, here which seem especially called for.

Excerpt from Shadows of the Rood: Or Types of Our Suffering Redeemer Jesus Christ Occuring in the Book of Genesis; Being the Substance of a Series of Moral Discourses Delivered in the Church of the Assumption During the Lent of 1856

The Author feels that some apology is due to those, who kindly subscribed for these discourses, as soon as they were first announced, so long since as the close of last Lent, for the delay which has attended their publication. But, when it is stated that they were preached nearly from meditation only, and had almost entirely to be written, and that too, at late and early hours, redeemed from the absorbing cares and toils of a very arduous Mission, and one of those Missions, which at present depend for efficiency, if not for existence, on means begged by the Pastor at the sacrifice of all his leisure, the Author cannot but submit that he is not deserving of blame on the score of idleness.
