Excerpt from The Origins of Religion and Language, Considered in Five Essays The name given to this book on the title-page was suggested by a friend, and it was adopted by the publisher in its first announcement, under the impression that I had proposed or approved it. I felt, however, and still feel, that such a title may seem to promise too much; but after full consideration I have retained it, on the ground that it expresses, clearly and concisely, the. principles which have guided me throughout the work. In the three Essays on the oldest forms of religion of which we have contemporary or trustworthy records, my object has been to prove that they were derived from a common source, and that all that is true, ennobling, and spiritual in them is due to that origin. In the Essay on the Rig Veda, I have first called attention to the certain fact that, at the period when the hymns were produced, two systems co-existed; the one resting upon a moral and spiritual basis; the other wholly naturalistic, personifying and adoring physical forces and agencies. In the second place, I have insisted upon the no less certain, though too often unnoticed fact that, of these two systems, the former was by far the more ancient, and that it represents the fundamental principles which were recognised by the ancestors of the Aryan race.

Excerpt from The Faith of the Millions: A Selection of Past Essays This Introduction may be regarded as in some sort the long-deferred continuation of the essay, entitled Tracts for the Million, in which it is maintained that the con ditions wherein we are placed in these modernized countries, justify some effort to meet the religious questionings of the semi educated in a way adapted rather to their incapacity than to the demands of better informed and more cultivated minds. We hold, however, that this can be at most a temporary palliative, but never a radical remedy against the spreading epidemic of unbelief. Sand-barriers may retard the ad vancing tide here and there, but eventually it creeps round and over. History shows us that the beliefs of the masses (we are not dealing with units in this discussion) follow.

Excerpt from Religious History Twenty-seven years ago I published, under the title of Studies of Religious History, ' a series of essays relating to the various creeds of antiquity, of the Middle Ages and of the East. The following are essays which may be considered as a sequel to those which were favourably received in I857. In the present work, I but incidentally dwell upon Greek and Latin antiquity; to compensate for which I submit a lengthy work upon Buddhism, and some minute discussions relative to mediaeval questions.

Excerpt from Epochs in Church History and Other Essays Preached to his congregation in Calvary Church, New York, and were also, at least in part, delivered in Philadelphia, before the Faculty and Students of the Divinity School, about the year 1878. Dr. Washburn had intended to revise them for publi cation, but before he could accomplish the task, his hand was stilled from earthly labor. They were left incomplete in treatment, and lacking in that finished style which his artistic nature demanded as the fit vehicle for the expression of his thought. But the fact that Dr. Washburn meant to publish these dis courses in a more finished form, determined the Editor to print them, though incomplete. They contain the substance of his thought, by which he wished to in form and inﬂuence others; and though doubtless he might have made them more full and elaborate, more artistically worthy of himself, he would not have changed in an iota his principles of historical criticism, nor have altered the course of his argument. The papers in the volume have been printed just as he left them. Whatever they may be, they are Dr. Wash burn's thoughts in Dr. Vvashburn's words. No one who knew him as well as the Editor could hesitate a moment to print whatever was printed exactly as it was left. No one true to him would venture to make changes for the mere sake of improving the elegance of the expression. He would be himself, even if in undress. Doubtless had he been able to prepare.

Excerpt from The Religion of Numa: And Other Essays on the Religion of Ancient Rome The careful student of the history of the Romans cannot doubt the psychological reality of their religion, no matter what his personal metaphysics may be. It is the author's hope that these essays may have a human interest because he has tried to emphasise this reality and to present the Romans as men of like passions to ourselves, in spite of all differences of time and race.
