Excerpt from A Commentary on the Apocalypse, Vol. 1 I do not give this history of my undertaking, with a view to recommend my work to the confidence of the Christian public. It must stand or fall by its own merits. What I have now said, has been said rather in the Way of apology for having engaged in an undertaking so hazardous as that of writing and publishing a Commentary on the Revelation. I have been led along step by step to my present position, without having originally designed to publish anything at all concerning the Apocalypse. It will naturally be expected that I should state a few things, in regard to the plan and manner of my work.
