Excerpt from Life and Correspondence of Theodore Parker, Vol. 1 of 2: Minister of the Twenty-Eighth Congregational Society, Boston Besides the collection which I have called. The Journal, there are several little pocket note-books out of which something has been gleaned, principally from those which he used during his last journeyings. But the few passages that are found in a con dition to print appear as from The Journal. Wherever a citation occurs from his printed works, it is made from the only uniform American edition that has appeared. Many of the foot-notes would be trivial or superfluous except for the English and foreign reader, for whose benefit they were inserted. It is difficult to anticipate where a foreign reader might need a note or explanation sometimes I may have exceeded, sometimes fallen short of, the natural requisition.
