Excerpt from The Power of Silence: A Study of the Values and Ideals of the Inner Life

The defects of the original edition were due to the fact that it was a first book, and that it was prepared from lecture notes with comparatively few changes. The subject matter was first used in a brief course of lectures delivered in Boston in 1 894. The second lecture in the course, The Immanent God, was then issued in pamphlet form and was incorporated without revision into the volume which was published in May, 1 89 5 The book has been reprinted many times in this country without revision, and a slightly revised edition has been several times reprinted in England.
