Reviews and Essays (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Reviews and Essays

I should remark that the article on Dr. Channing is written with the previous knowledge that very many into whose hands this volume will be likely to fall, are un acquainted with his writings; a fact which exerted its influ ence over the style and manner adopted in the treatment of the subject. I have not spoken of Dr. Channing's sectarian relation, because he is so nobly free from all sectarian limits. He seems wider and greater than any denomination. His position, as it seems to me, inde pendently overlooks them all. He belongs to all, and is therefore fitted to address the world in a universal speech. The Address, at the close of the Essays here published, forms so small a part of the volume as to constitute no valid reason for changing the name under which these articles are published.
