Excerpt from A Homiletic and Illustrative Treasury of Religious Thought (Being a New Edition of "Thirty Thousand Thoughts"), Vol. 1: Or, Twenty Thousand Choice Extracts, Selected From the Works of All the Great Writers, Ancient and Modern; With Copious Indices The large number of commonplace books, under various titles, which has issued from the press during the last quarter of a century, proves two or three facts incontrovertibly. First, the value of such collections, both as aids to re ection and as casual and fireside reading, is unmistakeably acknowledged. Secondly, the unwieldy and unmanageable size to which literature, chie y theological, has now grown, coupled together with the increased and imperious demands of a practical, busy age, upon the real workers in life, require, as a positive necessity, readier modes to arrive at knowledge in departments necessary for occasional and immediate use, or for popular embellishment. The inadequacy of any existing homiletical encyclopaedia or dictionary of illustrations exactly to supply the want now keenly felt, may be clearly read in the many rival but fruitless endeavours to secure full or permanent public favour. Fourthly, the casual, single-handed attempts, worthy, in many instances, of high praise, are now out of the question.
