G SOCIAL AND PRESENT DAY QUESTIONS BY FREDERIC W. FARRAR, D.D., F.R.S. ARCHDEACON OF WESTMINSTER, LATE FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, cambridge, BOSTON: TO THE Right Reb. Phillips Brooks, D.D., BISHOP OF MASSACHUSETTS, THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED WITH CORDIAL AFFECTION AND DEEP RESPECT. PREFACE. I HAVE Contributed the publication of these subjects to Messrs. Bradley & Woodruff, of Boston, Mass. There is a fitness in their publication by an American firm, because several of them pertain to the lives of eminent Americans, and have touched on events which are of special interest to the Western World. My distance from the place of publication has rendered the task of editing less easy; but I trust any defect may be forgiven, and hope that the volume may be received with generous consideration. F. W. FARRar. |
