Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preludes to the Reformation: Or From Dark to Day in Europe The writer of the following work trusts that its title, 'preludes to the Reformation, ' expresses accurately its nature and object. In considering any great crisis in the world's history, we must look not only at the immediate causes of it, or the prominent actors in it, but we must also trace the preparations which have been made for it through the ages. These antecedents altogether elude the cursory attention given to them by a large proportion of the readers of history. The river rolls onward in its subterranean course; but they do not care to observe its windings, or the caverns through which it has passed, until it again bursts forth into the full blaze of day, and pours its fertilizing tide over a barren waste, so as to clothe it with rich vegetation. They admire the grandeur of the thunder-storm, but they do not consider the manner of the gradual formation Of the store Of electric forces which have caused it suddenly to roll down the valleys and to waken the echoes of the mountains.
