Excerpt from Two Present-Day Questions: I. Biblical Criticism, II. The Social Movement; Sermons Preached Before the University of Cambridge on Ascension Day and the Sunday After Ascension Day, 1892 IT is right to explain that although these two sermons are not without a certain amount of more or less definite reference, I have done my best to make that reference impersonal and free from direct controversy. I should be glad also to take this opportunity of disclaiming a polemical intention on two points in particular on which it might not unnaturally be attributed to me. When I wrote as I did in the first sermon, encouraging the idea of an English school of criticism, I was quite unaware that this idea (which is of course no new one) had been rather warmly deprecated by Dr. Cheyne in the Contemporary Review for August, 1889. I hope, however, that his objections would not be so strong to the case as I have stated it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
