Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ecclesiastical Biography, Vol. 1 of 4: Or Lives of Eminent Men Connected With the History of Religion in England; From the Commencement of the Reformation to the Revolution This Third Edition differs from the two preceding, in the way both of addition and of omission. The omissions of any considerable moment, are limited to one only. The Life of Philip Henry, which constituted a large portion of the sixth volume of the former editions, has been withdrawn. The length of this Life had been occasionally complained of, as hardly compensated by a proportionate degree of value and interest; and sometimes it was alleged, that some degree of incongruity and unsuitableness to the leading, general design of the Collection, was introduced by the circumstance of the longest piece in the whole work being an encomiastic account of a nonconformist minister. After all, however, the consideration which weighed most on the Editor´s own mind, was, that since his former publication, a new edition of the life in question has appeared, revised, &c. from the original Diary, under the following title, viz. The Life of the Rev. Philip Henry A.M., &c. corrected and enlarged, by J. B. Williams, F.S.A. London, 1825. 8vo. After the appearance of the narrative in this revised and augmented form, it seemed that it would be neither respectful to the public, nor justice to any of the other parties concerned, to republish merely the old edition, which wanted the accessions and improvements introduced by the new Editor: it was thought best.
