The English Reformation and Puritanism: With Other Lectures and Addresses (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The English Reformation and Puritanism: With Other Lectures and Addresses

Since his departure many students and friends have urged the publication of his manuscripts. There has been some hesitation about consenting to publish his lectures because of his well-known aversion to this while living, and also because much of his available material had not been written for publication. Furthermore, a number of his lectures were written years ago, and from time to time, as new facts were discovered to modify or amplify previous conceptions, notes were inserted, some of which were not elaborated and consequently had to be omitted in preparing the material for the press.

Dr. Hulbert's method of classroom work was the use of an outline of his course for individual study, and the prepa ration of special subjects by students, while his lectures served as a preview or gave a résumé of periods that were studied. It is not deemed expedient to reprint his syllabus of The English Reformation and Puritanism, as it is avail able for those who may specially desire it.

Acknowledgment is made to his colleagues, Professors Franklin Johnson and J. W. Moncrief for their kind assist ance in seeing this volume through the press, as well as for their labor of love in teaching his classes during his illness and finishing for him his term's courses. It is hoped by his children that the publication of these lectures and addresses, with a brief memoir of the author, may not only serve as a worthy memorial of our honored teacher and father, but that in printed form they may help to continue his life-work.
