Outlines of the Evidences of Christianity: For the Use of the Syrian College, Cottayam (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Outlines of the Evidences of Christianity: For the Use of the Syrian College, Cottayam

Perhaps it most commonly happens that an au thor, from his more intimate familiarity with his subject, is more sensible to its defects than the great majority of his readers; and hence, apologies which may seem to them almost to border on an affectation of humility, if not to degenerate entirely into the opposite of the mask they have assumed, are in truth a more genuine expression of dissatisfaction than may sometimes be supposed.

The present writer has been so far sensible of some instances of faulty arrangement, and inaccuracies of expression, that he has been induced to reprint se veral pages of the following work - a step which it is due to the press at which ithas been got u p, to ac knowledge thus publicly; because it has somewhat, though not Very visibly, disfigured the neatness of the printer's work, by denuding a few of the pages of their proper number of lines, and crowding others in a corresponding degree; while the commence ment and headings of one or two sections have been left with a larger share of surrounding emptiness than has fallen to the lot of their brethren, whose original location has not been interfered with. Some deficiencies still remain which will detract from the comeliness of the dress, rather than from the internal compactness of the argument, (be the dress and framing comely and compact or other wise, ) and they will claim the indulgence of a for bearing public, until the reception with which the work may meet, shall determine whether or no it can ever reach a second edition.
