Excerpt from History of the Cross of Christ The idea of this little book was suggested to the author by perusing cruciana, an interesting work, by John Holland, published in England in 1835. Some of the quotations, and some of the facts embodied in the followmg sketch, were derived from that source. But the plan, execution, uses of the present essay are, in most respects, so different from those of Mr. Hol land's volume, that no further acknowledgment or refer ence to his work seems to be required. The hope of the author in presenting this humble production to the public, is that it may awaken Christian feelings in those who read it, by showing how the Crossof Christ justly appeals to the reason, - t_he imagination, and the heart of a living'believer. Graciana is a collection of miscel laneous information and literature concerning the Cross. J usti Lipsi De Cruce, - a Latin book printed in 1598 is a literal account, with engravings, of the Cross, its various shapes, and its use as an instrument of torture in different countries and times. The present work gives the symbolic history of that now hallowed object - thelessons taught by its fortunes and uses. This field the writer believes to have been hitherto unoccupied; and it seemed to him so capable, that he trusts a sufficient apology will be found in what he has written, for pub lishing it.
