Excerpt from The Mysticism of William Law: A Study Several editions of the Spirit of prayer and the Spirit of Love are to be had, and the works of William Law were privately reprinted for Mr. G. Moreton (who gives us his address: Setley, Brockenhurst, New Forest) in 1892, in nine volumes.* This reprint is made from an edition published by J. Richardson, London, in 1762. Various editions of parts of Law's works have appeared from time to time. The Serious Call has been recently re printed in a cheap form by Grifiitk e Famm, by Dent, and also by M etimen, this latter volume being preceded by an Introduction by the Rev. Dr. Bigg, of Christ Church, late Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford. The writer of these pages is fully aware that only a very slight sketch of Mysticism can be attempted in so short a space. His great object has been to express himself with clearness, so that persons who have not'previously considered the subject may grasp some of its leading ideas. It will be seen that he has quoted freely from Dean Inge, and Dr. Illingworth, and others, but he has at the same time striven not to be a mere copyist, but to think out the matter for himself. In the later volumes the address given is 42 Burgate Street, Canterbury. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
