RT. REV. RICHARD MANT, D. D., LATE BISHOP OF DOWN AND CONNOR, AND DROMORE. TRINITY PROFESSOR OF CHRISTIAN ETHICS, ETC., IN HOBART FREE COLLEGE, 9966 AT GENEVA, AUTHOR OF "THE CHURCH IDENTIFIED," HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION IN ENGLAND," ETC., ETC. INTRODUCTORY LETTER. TO THE REV. BENJAMIN HALE, President of Geneva College, and Doctor in Divinity. REV. AND DEAR SIR:-As my part in bringing this Edition of Bishop MANT's Hora Liturgica before the public, was undertaken at your suggestion and by your request, I feel anxious that it should appear in connection with your name. Not that I would imply thereby, that all that I have here said by way of Notes and Additions has received your approval, (as you have seen but a small part of it,) or that I would hold you in any measure responsible for the opinions I have advanced. But it is due to the public and to yourself, that it should be known that the object and plan of editing this work are of your own suggesting, that they may know to whom they are indebted for the merits of that part of the work, (which are certainly very great,) while all of the imperfections in its execution, be they what they may, are justly chargeable on myself alone. |
