The Life of St. Chrysostom (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of St. Chrysostom I have long intended to prepare a Second Edition of this work, which has for many years been out of print. But, as it had met with a favourable recep tion, I was reluctant, that it should be reprinted in its former state, and was desirous to perfect it as much as possible, both in its contents and form. My professional duties and labours upon my History of the Church left me, however, neither time nor strength for this purpose, and the accomplishment of my intention was thus delayed. And now, ih deed, I have not been able to mould the whole as I desired, but since this book contributes to give a portrait of Chrysostom, and to put much that is valu able of his works into general circulation, I could not forego my intention and I have improved it as much as I possibly could, consistently with my other labours. The number of notes, of which the matter ought to have been worked into the body of the narrative, was always a defect. I have therefore inserted some of them in the main text, distributed others in an Appendix, and, for convenient use, have placed a few in the pages to which they belonged. Il1ave also made many considerable additions and alterations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
