Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dods and His Critics A second edition of my little pamphlet being asked for, I embrace the opportunity thus given for a word or two of explanation. I am not a man of war, I hate it in all its forms. But at times it would seem imperative, and so not only justifiable, but unavoidable. Sense of wrong to self or others sometimes forces even the man of peace to take up the weapons of war. From the first I saw I had to make up my mind upon the points in question, as that mind might soon be asked. Carefully and, I hope, prayerfully, I set myself, as best I could, to this task, till I came at last to pretty definite conclusions. These were forced from me first before my Presbytery, and then before my office-bearers, and, finally, the Conference convinced me that to keep silence would be wrong to myself and possibly to others, and so I came to give wing to my convictions. I may explain further that the sense of wrong being done to Dr Dods alone impelled me, as I have but the slightest personal acquaintance with him. The adoption of a nom de plume was for two reasons: (1) That my personality might not prejudice any force of truth there might be in my pamphlet: (2) I thought that the nom de plume carried in itself a lesson that friends might well take to heart, who to my mind were making a great cry without much reason. I may also add that the veil that covered my identity was really so very thin that parties desirous of so doing could have no difficulty in tracing the author. If I had wished to conceal my identity effectually I would certainly not have given the many clues I have, some of them very plain. As the partial concealment will by this time have worked its ends it may now finally take end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
