IT has not yet fallen to the lot of the translator to usher before the Public a work possessing in his opinion stronger claims to popular favour than the present volume. Though proceeding from the pen of a Protestant divine, its contents breathe the genuine spirit of christianity untinctured by the peculiar doctrines of any sect, so that they are equally adapted to the perusal and edification of persons of all ages, classes, countries, and religious denominations. Numerous impressions of the original afford satisfactory evidence of the estimation in which it is held, not only among the professors of the same faith with the learned author, but also in the Catholic states in which it has been reprinted.

On the views and feelings which actuated the author, and the style which he has adopted, in the composition of these Parables, it would be superfluous to offer any remark here; since on those points his preface will be found sufficiently explicit. The translator, therefore, will detain the reader no longer than to express a confident hope that the appearance of a volume of such unexceptionable tendency will contribute to shake the national prejudice against foreign literature in general entertained by some of his countrymen, whose minds ought to be superior to that sentiment.
