Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Compendium of Christian Theology It might be of use to young men candidates for the Ministry, if any such are to be found, who have not attained to a thorough knowledge of the Latin Language. In particular, it might improve my own mind, as it tends to inspire the most elevated conceptions of Religion and Virtue. Now though I look on such an undertaking as truely laudible, yet a certain self-diffidence intervenes, which does not indeed proceed so much from any consciousness I entertain of my ignorance of either the Author´s language, or meaning, but rather from a jealousy of my not being so much master of English, as might enable me to do justice to so glorious an Author; an Author, the iublimity of whose sentiments, merit the most masterly strokes of the finest pen, put into the hands of, the most enlarged, and refined genius. Being thus embarrassed by this obsticle, I thought proper, Sir, to apply unto you, whose situation in life must, in an eminent degree, render you acquainted with literature, for your candid advice. New, in order that you may be the better judge, and determine in this case, I have sent you a specimen of the intended translation, with the original, which I hope you will peruse, and compare together, and after perusal, and comparison, frankly tell your mind. If your judgment is in my favour, I shall with the greater ardor proceed, if otherwise, I shall bear matters, with a philosophical patience, I had almost said a stoical apathy.
