Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Official Report of the Church Congress: Held at Derby, October, 1882 It is scarcely to be expected that a Volume of the size and character of a Church Congress Report, the joint contribution of about 200 authors, can be hurried through the press in the brief space of two months, or thereabouts, and be altogether free from errors. Nevertheless, the Editor sends it forth on its errand, in the belief that no serious defect will disfigure its pages, and that it will prove in every respect worthy to rank among its companion volumes, the Reports of previous Church Congresses. No pains have been spared by the Editor and his colleagues to obtain, and to produce, a complete and accurate account of the discussions and proceedings at the Derby Church Congress, as a permanent record. In editing the Report for the Secretaries and Committee, my first duty is to acknowledge, on their behalf, the very valuable services which the Official Reporter (Mr. C. Basil Cooke) and the Publishers (Messrs. Bemrose and Sons) have rendered. It is to the forethought, promptitude, and care of Mr. Cooke, who has also acted as Sub-editor, and to the perfect arrangements made by Mr. H. H. Bemrose, that both the completeness of the volume and its unusually early issue must be attributed. The very efficient help given by these gentlemen reduced my editorial labours to a minimum, and turned an otherwise exacting and anxious task into a comparatively light and pleasant duty. It would be an impertinence on my part to express an opinion upon the merits of the papers and speeches delivered at the Congress, and herein contained; yet I may be allowed to embody in this prefatory notice the judgment of a veteran Congressionist, Mr. A. J. B. Beresford-Hope, who, at the final meeting, said - "The general level of high intellectual thought has been most remarkable."
