Book synopsis

Excerpt from Sermons on the Parables The following sermons have been prepared for the press in accordance with the desire of the family and friends of the author. All his manuscript sermons were placed in our hands, in order that we might select the number requisite to make up the proposed volume. We were led to select the discourses on the Parables, mainly by what we knew of the Unfulfilled intentions of Dr. Davidson himself. A few years before his death he informed us that he intended to publish his discourses on the Parables, and that he was then preparing them for the press. Probably the failure of his health compelled him to abandon the undertaking. The MSS., however, contain hints for the guidance of a publisher or editor, showing that the author had thought of a posthumous publication. We have been cheered in the drudgery of editorial work, by the consideration that we were but carrying out the wishes of a highly esteemed, but departed friend. Dr. Davidson re-wrote six sermons for the press, numbered in the following series as XIII., XIV., XV., XX., XXIII. and XXIV., and though we re-copied them, they are here published just as he left them, excepting such corrections as an author would make in a final revision of his own manuscript. In preparing the other twenty sermons for publication, we have necessarily made some changes, and we deem it proper to state what these are. We have occasionally omitted single words, parts of sentences, and, though very seldom, whole sentences. We have occasionally exchanged words for others, and reconstructed sentences. Sometimes we have had to develop a figure which was merely noted in the MS. We have written out small portions of a few of the sermons from the author's notes. Yet the changes we have made do not affect the integrity, or peculiarities even, of the language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
