Excerpt from History of the Dogma of the Deity of Jesus Christ In preparing an entirely new translation of this work from the revised and enlarged edition of 1876, I have, as before, considered it only just to the learned and eloquent author to he as faithful to the original as possible; and therefore I have endeavoured, according to his own request, expressed in a letter to me just before the publication of the first translation, "to make him say neither more nor less than he desired to say." In that translation some sentences were shortened, and a few passages, which did not appear necessary to the elucidation of the argument, were omitted; but in the present edition there is neither omission nor alteration. Perhaps it may be considered by some persons that the French language is now so generally studied in England as to render a translation of any modem French book unnecessary.
