Excerpt from Brief Views of the Saviour, With Reflections on His Doctrines, Parables Etc: Designed Chiefly for the YoungRunning my eye, several months since, over some German pamphlets which lay in the corner of a book store, I came across the Life of Jesus, for Children, by J. F. Feddersen, Court and Cathedral Preacher at Brunswick. In form and general execution it was rather repulsive but the words, Seventh Edition, to gether with the lateness of the date attracted my attention, and led me to suppose it a valuable work for the purpose originally intended. In this supposi tion I was confirmed by the preface. The Life of Jesus by Feddersen, it was there said, by its editor, a friend of the deceased author, met with much ap probation, soon after its first appearance, in 177 5. It was translated into several languages, introduced into many Protestant schools as a reading-book, and not oh ly recommended but employed by Roman Catholic teachers. I also found the work interesting in itself. Faults indeed it had. It was altogether too dry and didactic in its style. It was characterized, however, by simplicity as well as by a tasteful and appropriate se lection of matter, every where bore marks of genuine piety, and seemed to me worthy of a translation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
