History Of The Councils Of The Church - From The Original Documents

 Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is now more than a quarter of a century since the present Editor proposed the publication of an English translation of a part of Hefele''s great History of the Councils to Mr. T.Clark (now Sir Thomas Clark, Bart.), who was at that time senior partner of the publishing firm which has done so much for the promotion of theological learning in Great Britain. Mr. Clark readily recognised the importance of the historical method in the study of theology, and the supreme place held by the Church Councils in the development of Christian doctrine; and, without any great hope of financial success, consented to publish the first volume. It is quite intelligible that this should have obtained the largest circulation; but the sale of the later volumes leads to serious doubts as to the nature of the con temporaneous study of theology. It is true that most of our leading British scholars are acquainted with German, and that a French translation of the earlier volumes (only of the first edition, however) has been published. Still, it would appear that a great many who have some pretensions to be theologians are contented with second or third rate authorities on these great subjects. It is with much thankfulness that the Editor is now able to send forth the completion of the original design, by bringing the work down to the close of the second Council of Nicaea, the last which has been recognised alike by East and West. In closing the work at this point, neither the Editor nor the Publishers wish to imply that the subsequent Councils are unworthy of study.

It is the same with literature. Thousands who have no spark of the genius of Dryden or Wordsworth, do to Dryden the justice which has never been done by Wordsworth, and to Wordsworth the justice which, we suspect, would never have been done by Dryden. Gray, Johnson, Richardson, Fielding, are all highly esteemed by the great body of intelligent and well-informed men. But Gray could see no merit in Rasselas and Johnson could see no merit in the Bard. Fielding thought Richardson a solemn prig; and Richardson perpetually expressed contempt and disgust for Fieldin 's lowness.

My lord, your great nobleness and religious charity hath taken from me some portions of that glory which I designed to myself in imitation of St. Paul towards the Corinthian church, who esteemed it his honour to preach to them without a revenue: and though also like him I have a trade, by which as I can be more useful to others, and less burdensome to you: yet to you also, under God, I owe the quiet and the opportunities and circumstances of that, as if God had so interweaved the support of my a''airs with your charity, that He would have no advantages pass upon me but by your interest; and that I should expect no reward of the issues of my calling, unless your lordship have a share in the blessing. My lord, I give God thanks that my lot is fallen so fairly, and that I can serve your lordship in that ministry by which I am bound to serve God, and that my gratitude and my duty are bound up in the same bundle; but now, that which was yours by a right of pro priety, I have made public, that it may still be more yours, and you derive to yourself a comfort, if you shall see the necessity of others served by that which you heard so diligently, and accepted with so much piety, and I am persuaded have entertained with that religion and Obedience which is the duty of all those who know, that sermons are arguments against us unless they make us better, and that no sermon is received as it ought, unless it makes us quit a vice, or be in love with virtue; unless we sner it in some instance or degree to do the work of God upon our souls. My lord, in these sermons I have meddled with no man''s interest, that only excepted which is eternal but if any man''s vice was to be reproved, I have done it with as much severity as I ought. Some cases of conscience I have here determined; but the special design of the whole is, to describe the greater lines of duty by special argu ments; and if any witty censurer shall say that I tell him nothing but what he knew before, I shall be conten

 Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The translation of the Ch'un Ts'ew itself may be made by an ordinary Chinese scholar carraale calamo; but it is not so with the translation of the Tso Chuen. And the author had not the benefit of the labours of previous translators with either of them. In pre paring his former volumes, he did his work in the first place without reference to those who had traversed the same fields before him, but he afterwards found it occasionally of advantage to com pare his versions with those of others. This he has not been able to do in the present case. If any Sinologue be at times inclined to differ from him in the rendering of a passage of Tso, the author would ask him to suspend his judgment for a little. Prolonged study may perhaps show him that the meaning has seldom been mistaken. To have introduced notes vindicating his renderings, where the meaning was not immediately evident, would have greatly increased the size of the volume, already sufficiently large. His object has always been to translate faithfully, without resorting to paraphrase, which he considers a slovenly and unscholarly practice; yet he hopes that his versions are not in language that can be represented as uncouth, or unpleasant to read. He has received the same assistance as in the case of the fourth volume in reading most of the proofs. And his obligations to the Rev. M r. Chalmers have been even greater than before. Not only did he prepare the indexes of Subjects and Proper Names, but the author is indebted to him for the valuable maps of China in the Ch'un Ts'ew period, for the chronological table of the lunar months during it, and for various assistance on other points.

Jane Seymour was the fairest, the discreetest, and the most meritorious of all Henry VIII.'s wives. This assertion has been generally repeated by all historians to the present hour, yet, doubtless, the question has frequently occurred to their readers, in what did her merit consist? Customs may vary at various eras, but the laws of moral justice are unalterable: difficult would it be to reconcile them with the first actions known of this discreet lady, for discretion is the attribute the biographer of Henry VIII., lord Herbert, peculiarly challenges as her own.

We believe that, in some countries, a woman's name is not properly considered to be changed by marriage, but she be comes a Mrs. Only in connection with the name of her husband. Thus Jane Smith becomes Mrs. John Jones, but not Mrs. Jane Jones. It is on this idea we suppose that our ancestors the English - every Englishman, as a matter of course, being every American's ancestor - thus it is, we suppose, therefore, that our ancestors, who pay so much more attention to such matters than we do ourselves, in their table of courtesy, call the wife of Lord John Russell, Lady John, and not Lady - whatever her Christian name may hap pen to be. We suppose, moreover, it is on this principle that Mrs. General This, Mrs. Dr. That, and Mrs. Senator T'other, are as inaccurate as they are notoriously vulgar.

Proper defense against cannon was even less understood until the Civil War. If Louis xiv's military engineer Vauban had come to life during any battle or siege that followed his death up to 1861, he could easily have directed the Operations of the most advanced army engineers - whose fortifications, indeed, he would have found constructed on conventional lines according to his own text-books. Thus the gunner in Blue or Gray, and his comrade the engineer, were forced not only to fight and dig but to evolve new theories and practices. NO single work existed to inform the editors of this History systematically concerning that fight ing and digging. No single work described Federals and Con federates alike, and readably told the story of the great events with the guns and behind the ramparts from '61 to '65. That gap it is hoped this volume will fill.

As a matter Of fact, the West was left to its own devices. But it presently became evident that the development which there took place, untroubled by interference from without, was fraught with consequences Of the utmost moment to the Hellenistic political system. By abstaining from peremptory interference while such interference was yet possible, the Macedonian king doms permitted a power to arise in Italy so strong that in a very Short time it proceeded to aim a fatal blow at their own existence.

During these proceedings Congress sat with closed doors. The bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 79 to 49, and the Senate by 19 to 13. It immediately became a law by receiving the signature of the President. Two days afterward — the lgth of June, 1812 — Mr. Madison issued a proclamation in which he formally declared war against the offend ing government and people. The conict that ensued is known in history as the War of 1812, and may properly be regarded as our Second War for Independence, for until the end of that contest the United States were only nominally free. The people, blessed with prosperity and happy in the pur suit of the arts of peace, dreaded war, and submitted to many acts of oppression and insult from Great Britain and France, rather than appeal to the arbitrament of the sword. Commercially, and in a great degree socially, the people of the United States were dependent upon Europe, and espe cially upon England; and the latter was, at that time, rapidly acquiring a dangerous political interest here. The war began in I775, was really only the first great step toward independence; the war begun in 1812, first thoroughly accomplished it. The chief causes for declaring war were the impressment of American seamen by the British; the blockade of French ports without adequate force to sustain the act; the orders in councils, and the incitement of the savages to hostilities.
