Excerpt from Belief and Creed, Being an Examination of Portions of the Faith of a Modern DealingVery few preliminary words are needed in the case of this little book. In the first chapter I have fully explained the circumstances which made me feel that it was my plain duty to endeavour to write it. It has grown under my hand and partly for this reason, partly also because my time is not my own, I have not been able to finish it so soon as I at first hoped to do.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
