EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE,

Held in the City of New York, October, 1873.

EDITED BY

THE REV. S. IRENEUS PRIME, D.D.,

AND

THE REV. PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D.

ABOUT one hundred men, the most eminent for learn-
ing, ability, and worth, holding the highest rank in phi-
losophy, theology, science, and literature, men of genius,
power, and fame, were selected with the greatest care,
and invited to prepare themselves, by months and years
of study, for the discussion of great themes of imme-
diate and vital interest. They were chosen out of all
countries, as the men of thought and purpose best fit-
ted to produce Treatises to exhibit, in the most thor-
ough and exhaustive form, the TRUTH, as sustained by
the Holy Scripture, and the most advanced and en-
lightened human reason. These intellectual leaders
were invited to come to New York, and to present to
one another, and representative men from all lands,
the fruits of their labors. The results of this concen-

trated thought and labor are embodied in the volume of Essays now published.

Such an amount of labor, by such a number of men, of such eminence in their several departments of knowl edge, was never expended upon the preparation of any one volume since the art of printing was discovered.

The most important topics in Theology and Philosophy, and the most delicate and difficult subjects in practical Benevolence, Philanthropy, and Reform, are discussed by the clearest, soundest, and ablest minds; while the most popular and renowned pulpit orators have contributed to make this volume the repository and illustration of their highest efforts.

No person of intelligence, no preacher, no statesman, no thinker, no Christian leader, no teacher in college, academy, or Sunday-school, no young man who would be educated in the thought of the age, should fail of possessing this volume.

It is a library of Christian thought and learning, not surpassed in value by any uninspired volume.

A limited number of copies will be printed, and will be delivered at the office of publication, on receipt of $5 per copy, to Subscribers sending in their names to Messrs. HARPER & BROTHERS before January 1, 1874; and subscribers will be apprised in advance of the appearance of the work.
