Excerpt from A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 3: Second Series

The unavoidable delay in the publication of the third volume has been very annoying to the general editors and publishers, but the subscribers will be amply compensated by the addition of the writings of Rufinus, which were not promised in the prospectus.

It is encouraging that this difficult and costly enterprise is beginning to be duly appreciated by competent judges on both sides of the Atlantic. It is especially gratifying to read from a thorough patristic scholar of the Anglican Church such a hearty commendation of the 'first volume (the work of two young American divines), as appeared in The Church Quarterly Review for April, 1892. We share in his hope (p. 12 5) that the labors of Dr. Mcgiffert and Dr. Richardson will stimulate a new and critical edition of all the historical works of Eusebius, after the model set by Bishop Lightfoot in his Apostolic Fathers, and that one Of the English University Presses will consider it an honor to undertake the expense of publication.
