NOTE.
The following Treatise was written at the request of the Executive Committee of the American Unitarian Association, who earnestly commend it to public attention. As individuals, they may not concur in every opinion advanced, nor adopt every verbal expression employed by the writer, but they unanimously and cordially approve of the great thoughts and principles that form the basis of the work, and of the spirit and temper in which it is written. They publish it because they believe that the clearness and strength with which it states and enforces the great practical doctrines of Christianity, and the beauty and power with which it portrays and recommends the profoundest religious experience, will secure and reward a thorough study.
