Book excerpt: Excerpt from General History of the Christian Religion and Church, Vol. 1: From the German of Dr. Augustus Neander, Translated From the Second and Improved Edition; Comprising the First Great Division of the History The translator deems it proper to state, that his labors on neander began, and were prosecuted to the comple tion of several successive volumes or parts of the present work, many years ago, - though not before a partial translation of the same work had already appeared in England. He has certainly no reason to regret, but rather much reason to congratulate himself, that his first translation did not find its way to the press. In 1843, Dr. Neander sent forth a second edition of the first volume of his work, embracing the history Of the church in the first three centuries. In this new edition, the alterations are numerous and important. The great features of the original work, its method and spirit, are, indeed, faithfully preserved; but, in other respects, there are very decided improvements. These important changes, occurring not here and there, but through entire pages and paragraphs, have made it necessary to translate nearly the whole of the first volume anew. The translator has submitted to this labor with the more cheerfulness, as it enables him to present the work to the English reader in the form in which Dr. Neander has been pleased to express his wish that it should appear.
