Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Manifestations of the Son of God Under the Economy of the Old Testament The volume now in the hands of the reader is a posthumous publication as its title page will have informed him. The subject of which it treats had engaged the earnest attention of the Author for a period of from twenty to thirty years, the greater portion of his public life; and the composition of the volume was only finished a few weeks before his decease. He had expended upon it, in fact, his last cares and left it in a state of singular completeness, so that upon the Editor devolved only the easy task of revising a few sheets as they came from the press. That the closing sheets alone were subjected to his revision is explained by the circumstance that the author printed the work piecemeal as each sheet was written, and had thus the greater portion of the work in its permanent form in his possession a considerable time prior to his death. The process will be fully explained in his own preface, which will be found pre fixed to the treatise itself. It isa matter for congratulation that the work thus enjoys the benefit of the author's very accurate revision as it passed through the press, together with his fastidiously minute system of reference and annotation.
