Excerpt from Epochs in Church History and Other Essays Preached to his congregation in Calvary Church, New York, and were also, at least in part, delivered in Philadelphia, before the Faculty and Students of the Divinity School, about the year 1878. Dr. Washburn had intended to revise them for publi cation, but before he could accomplish the task, his hand was stilled from earthly labor. They were left incomplete in treatment, and lacking in that finished style which his artistic nature demanded as the fit vehicle for the expression of his thought.

They contain the substance of his thought, by which he wished to in form and influence others; and though doubtless he might have made them more full and elaborate, more artistically worthy of himself, he would not have changed in an iota his principles of historical criticism, nor have altered the course of his argument. The papers in the volume have been printed just as he left them. Whatever they may be, they are Dr. Wash burn's thoughts in Dr. Vvashburn's words. No one who knew him as well as the Editor could hesitate a moment to print whatever was printed exactly as it was left.
