Excerpt from Phillips Brooks
In preparing this volume the writer has been struck by the fact that as yet there is very little written about Phillips Brooks excepting by members of his profession. Possibly, this gives a layman the better reason for venturing to touch the subject in his own way. He has not touched it, in this instance, with any h0pe or wish of doing what a clergyman might do with it. If there is too little of theology, he trusts there is not correspondingly too much of the personal Phillips Brooks. Indeed, he does not believe this to be possible, and would be better content if he could feel that the man of whom he has written had been more clearly and completely pictured in the narrative.
