Excerpt from Discourses and EssaysFor several years the desire has been entertained and ex pressed, by many in this country, to have a volume in English of such of the occasional Essays and Discourses of Dr. Merle d'aubigne as are of a general nature, and three years ago the subscriber gave assurances to the public that the task of selec tion and translation would be undertaken by him, or under his auspices, at no distant day. But circumstances, which it is not necessary to state, for a long time prevented the accomplish ment of this purpose. He is happy, however, to say that the work has at length been executed, and the result the reader will find in this volume, containing seventeen Discourses and Essays.A few of these productions have at one time or another been translated into English, and published separately in England or in this country, and some in both, either in small volumes or in pamphlets. But the greater part are now given to the pub lic for the first time, in an English translation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
