Excerpt from God in History: Or Facts Illustrative of the Presence and Providence of God in the Affairs of Men The basis of the following little work was a lecture delivered in Exeter Hall by request of that excellent institution, the "Young Men's Christian Association." It was found impossible to present more than a sketch or outline in a lecture. The present treatise is an attempt to fill up the outline, by embodying in it facts, and incidents, and occurrences, necessarily omitted, or briefly alluded to, in the lecture. The subject is an intensely interesting one - rich in suggestive illustrations, and practical in so far as it comes home to the bosom and business of every man. The author has avoided introducing subjects on which his mind is fully made up, but on which there is much difference of opinion among good and wise men. It was his design, and it is his desire, to point out the presence of God rather in facts acknowledged by all, than in discussions raised on those facts by conflicting parties.
