Lectures on the Ecclesiastical History of the First and Second Centuries:

These Lectures have never been delivered anywhere. When my connexion with King s College ceased, I was asked by a kind friend to authorize the publication of the notes which some of the students had taken down from my lips. He was aviare that my Lectures were extempore, and that I had no reports of my own by which I could correct theirs. Nevertheless, he fancied that he should be able to trace my meaning, and to present it in an intelligible form to the reader: he even insisted that I should leave the matter wholly in his hands; an arrangement to which, except for his sake, I willingly consented. But I soon found that he had imposed upon himself a task which it would be on many accounts painful for him to perform.
