Excerpt from The Scripture Doctrine of Future Punishment: An Argument In the summer of 1844, the Notes of Lectures were published at the request of the writer's congregation, to whom they had been delivered in the early part of that year. Of the reception which that little work experienced it needs not to speak. I had counted the cost, and have never regretted the effort. If it has elicited in some quarters that earthly passion which blinds the eye, and beclouds the judgment, and dethrones love, and prompts the unhappy victim to snatch up unhallowed weapons, it has also elicited from others the display of christian graces, which have greatly endeared to me some most honored members of the household of faith, to whom I could wish propriety would allow me publicly to pay that tribute of respect and affec tion which it would gratify me to offer.
