—"To this deplorable error I desire to oppose faith in God as ithas been given to the world by the Gospel—faith in the HEAVENLYFATHER."
Author's Letter to Professor Faraday (v. p. 193).
These Lectures, in their original form, were delivered at Geneva, andafterwards at Lausanne, before two auditories which together numberedabout two thousand five hundred men. A Swiss Review publishedconsiderable portions of them, which had been taken down in short-hand,and on reading these portions, several persons, belonging to differentcountries, conceived the idea of translating the work when completed bythe Author, and corrected for publication. Proof-sheets were accordinglysent to the translators as they came from the press: and thus thisvolume will appear pretty nearly at the same time in several of thelanguages of Europe.[Pg iv]
The hearty kindness with which my fellow-countrymen received my wordshas been to me both a delight and an encouragement. The expressions ofsympathy which have reached me from abroad allow me to hope that thesepages, notwithstanding the deficiencies and imperfections of which I amkeenly sensible, reflect some few of the rays of the truth which God hasdeposited on the earth, thereby to unite in the same faith and hope menof every tongue and every nation.
