Observations on the Growth of the Mind / By Sampson Reed (Classic Reprint)

Stack Annex PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION, THE Growth of the Mind was first published in the year 1826, and has now been through two editions in this country, and one or more in England. So far as an author duly feels in whose presence he stands, it can be no source of gratification to him to attract personal admiration or praise. He must regard himself as only a medium of truth from the one only Source of truth, and the forms in which he has been permitted to present it, as useful only so far as they are suitable vessels to contain and to communicate it. Truth itself simple unadorned divine is at the present day revealed, yet noticed and loved by few. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords is standing in the midst of us; but he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. The spiritual sense of the Sacred Scripture is opened; yet is it despised and rejected of men.
