Universalism, a Practical Power: Exhibited in a Series of Discourses (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Universalism, a Practical Power: Exhibited in a Series of Discourses

Critics will find here no attempt at fine writing. I h0pe the discourses are not seriously Open to literary objection; but they were prepared with less thought of rhetoric than of doctrine. I did not stop to cull phrases. I cared only to say what I had to say as intelligibly and forcibly as possible. I might have re written the Discourses into Essays. But I preferred to sacrifice what would thus have been gained in compactness and literary finish, for the sake of retaining the original freedom of treatment and directness of popular address. I hope the book will prove none the less acceptable or useful on this account.
