Excerpt from The Parables of Frederic Adolphus Krummacher Once more these productions of an earlier period of my life are to go forth in a new edition. They have survived, with myself, nearly half a century; they have enjoyed the honour of translation into various languages; and have been frequently reprinted, besides figuring in many a read ing-book and class-book. How, then, should I value them lightly, ashas been asserted? The majority of them took their origin from the inner life of their author, or were called forth by particular events in his career. Therefore I consider that they have a claim alike to respect and in dulg__e_nt consideration; and trust that in this new edition they will obtain both at the hands of my worthy readers.
