xxxv, 553 p.; 8 pl.; 21 cm. [London edition 1880-82, 3 vols.; first thus in 1883] Samuel Wilberforce, 1805-1873. `It is fitting to say a few words about the manner in which the three English volumes have been compressed into the single American one, without, it is believed, any substandital loss of interest of value. Much was gained, of course, by the use of smaller print, and scarcely less by the careful excision of unnecessary or unimportant words and phrases--lists of names, titles, trivialities, redundancies, and repetitions of all sorts; most of which, especially to an American reader, tended rather to burden than to assist the understanding. The latest volume of the English edition, which is chiefly responsible for the ferment across the water, is the most substantially reproduced, not so much to gratify the general desire to see the so-called "revelations" as becuase it is the most interesting.' (p. xvi) Good olive cloth, spine ends frayed. Note at head of title-page.
