Présentation de l'éditeur
Essays, scattered over a period of nearly twenty years. Not only do several of them relate to events which have almost passed away from memory, but they belong to the successive phases of theological conflict, which, however absorbing for the moment, are of all subjects the most fugitive, Nor can I forbear to call to mind a solemn warning which, at one of those moments in life when even slight things are remembered, fell from a distinguished preacher afterwards a dear and honoured friend who, addressing a band of youthful candidates for ordination in the Cathedral of Oxford, after enumerating the great realities of theological study and of practical life which ought to occupy the thoughts of an English clergyman, added impressive words to this effect: 4A void controversy, if possible. Few have 4ever entered into controversy without repenting of it. I might enforce this by many arguments. But 41 will content myself with repeating what I have 4already said, Few have entered into controversy 4without repenting of it. I cannot plead in my own case an exception to this rule.
