Excerpt from Brief Outline of the Study of Theology: Drawn Up to Serve as the Basis of Introductory Lectures

For the very extensive use which has been made of capitals and italics in the larger part of this volume, the Translator is exclusively responsible. His Object has been to assist. The reader in what Jean Paul calls the summary apprehension of the successive paragraphs; a kind of aid which the increasing productivity of the press and the pen is likely to leave us small room for despising.

It only remains to be stated, that if the present work should meet with due encouragement; it may probably be followed by the appearance of translations from other writings of the same author.
