Excerpt from The History of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its Institution in 1804, to the Close of Its Jubilee in 1854; Compiled at the Request of the Jubilee Committee The author's aim has been to give a faithful history of one of the most prominent religious movements of modern times, - a movement that has connected iwelf with, and in some measure acted upon, every department of the universal Church of God. A large measure of the happiest results has been already witnessed and enjoyed; and whilst the triumphs of the Society have yielded abundant matter for grateful praise and adoration of that Divine care by which it has been guarded, it may be asserted with confidence, that, through its instrumen tality, a blessing has been provided for ages yet to come.
