Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse on the Nature, Design, and Institution, of the Holy Eucharist: Commonly Called the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper For a considerable time past, I had formed the design of offering for publication the various tracts of Dr. Adam Clarke. My reasons were briefly these: I perceived an uncommon eagerness in every person with whom I conversed respecting this very learned, and justly celebrated man, to he in possession of all which he had produced. This circumstance I saw would induce some one to take up his detached pieces, as they from time to time fell into their hands, and print them, probably, from the first editions, in a less perfect state than I had it in my power to do. Ever since I settled in this country, the Author, as a testimony of that continued friendship, which had subsisted for a number of years, had regularly transmitted to me the latest editions of all his publications; and I believe several of them were never in any ones hands hit my own. I therefore considered that a more complete collection was not likely to come from any other source. Being anxious, however, that the Author should, if necessary, make any alterations, and add any other pieces which he might have by him in manuscript, I apprised him, in the beginning of the last year, of my intention.
