Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World as the Subject of Redemption: Being an Attempt to Set Forth the Functions of the Church as Designed to Embrace the Whole Race of Mankind, Eight Lectures Delivered Before the University of Oxford in the Year 1883
The publication of these Lectures has been delayed through my having to take up new work at Canterbury and at Oxford immediately after their delivery. I do not think it right to delay it longer; but I am conscious that the Lectures still bear in some respects the marks of insufficient care.
In a work which takes in so large a range of history it is hardly possible that there should not be some mistakes of fact or inference, which will be noticed as blemishes by those who have made special periods their study, or who have been able to devote more time to historical pursuits than has been possible to me. But I have endeavoured to verify each statement which I have made, and to give references to the facts and to the books in which they may be found.
