This Is A New Release Of The Original 1860 Edition.

1860. This work is designed to bring to light suppressed hopes, expose false ones and confirm the true. Though this book was prepared under the pressure of deep and strong convictions, the author is not ignorant that the subject furnishes occasion for almost unlimited investigation. Nor does he claim to have arrived at such results as are still to be desired in this direction. If this humble endeavor shall be used by the Master to save men from self-deception, and advance the interests of genuine piety, or it if shall serve to incite others to a more just and adequate treatment of this too much neglected subject, it will subserve the end desired.
