Excerpt from The Preaching of the Beatitudes
I should have built but little to say in the way of preface to the following pages, if I had not to express my thanks for the great kindness with which the first volume of this work has been generally received, and for the encouragement which I have had from private friends as well as from persons of authority. The best way in which gratitude for such kindness can be shown is to endeavour to make the future volumes of the work on which I am engaged less unworthy of their great subject than they might be, if any pains were spared to give them such comparative perfection as lies within the reach of their author and his opportunities.
The present volume might, as I hoped, have contained the whole Sermon on the Mount, as well as the subsequent incidents of our Lord's Public Life during the first year of His Preaching. But I soon found that it was impossible to compress the matter into the small compass necessary, and as the Sermon on the Mount had to be divided, it seemed most natural to divide it at the Beatitudes.
