Excerpt from Universalism Against Itself: A Scriptural Analysis of the DoctrineThis book was originally written when the author was quite young, - but little turned of twenty, - but it was some two or three years later before he had found friends who were will ing to advance the means for issuing the first copies, an edition which many thought would never all be called for. A year, however, had not passed before the edition was entirely exhausted, and from the sale of which the author was en abled to return the money borrowed, leaving a surplus suf ficient for another edition. To avoid the necessity of large editions, he was advised to have the work stereotyped which he personally supervised at Cincinnati, Ohio. From this point editions of one thousand copies each began to be issued to meet the rapidly increasing demand, until within about four years thereafter more than copies of the work had been sold.At this time a sudden decline in the author's health pre vented his personal application to the sale of the book, so he turned the plates over to a friend, while he sought other em ployment better suited to his physical recuperation. After the 1ssue of a few more editions, the plates found their way into the hands of the Methodist Book Concern of that city whose then managers employed the Rev. W. P. Strickland, D. D, one of their well known ministers, to write an Intro duction to the work. This Introduction we deem so well written and so directly to the point, that we have concluded to retain it in the work in its present revised form.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
