Présentation de l'éditeur :
This volume has been for some years out of print. After the publication of two editions, the opportunity of reprinting passed while my time was otherwise occupied. The interest awakened in Luther this summer led me to a renewed study of the subject; and I have described more at length some points in the career of the great Eeformer, and especially the manysidedness of his life and character, as depicted in the Tischreden The sketch thus enlarged may be welcome to many readers; and the contrast presented in the second sketch of the volume between the German and Genevan Eeformers helps to bring out the characteristics of both. Besides the additions made to the chapter on Luther, I have carefully revised the volume throughout. Dr Julius Kostlin s Martin Luther, sein Leben und seine Schriften in two volumes, has appeared, as we Uas his popular Leben in one volume, since the last edition of these sketches. The larger work is an ample and admirable monograph, but cannot be said to have added to our knowledge of the subject. The literature on Luther has been always ample, and its sources especially fresh and copious in the Tischreden and Briefe, De Wette sed., 5vols.
