Originally published in 1859, as the fourth edition of a 1660
original, this book contains the text of the Select Discourses of
the theologian John Smith. Smith covers a variety of religious
topics in these essays, including superstition, atheism and the
existence and nature of God. The text is edited by Henry Griffin
Williams, and includes a biography of Smith as read at his funeral
by Symon Patrick, later Bishop of Ely. This book will be of value
to anyone with an interest in Smith's writings.
Sir Lepel Henry Griffin (1838 1908) was a British administrator and
diplomat in the Indian Civil Service. Beginning in Lahore in 1860,
his career in India spanned nearly thirty years until he resigned
in 1889 and began a new life in commerce and finance. In 1884
Griffin published The Great Republic, a stinging critique of the
United States. Consisting partly of articles which had already
appeared in the Fortnightly Review, Griffin's book was intended to
warn Englishmen, particularly Liberals, of 'the political methods
of America which strike me as thoroughly bad and corrupt'. His
chief accusation was that the American political system had put
power into the hands of the uneducated masses. He also condemned
Americans' love of materialism, their 'philistinism', and the
anti-English sentiment which he had encountered during his
three-week stay there. Controversial in its day, his book is a
fascinating document in the history of Anglo-American relations.
