Excerpt from A Meditation on the Incarnation of Christ: Sermons on the Life and Passion of Our Lord Prayers and Meditations on the Life of Christ, published in 1904 by Messrs. Kegan Paul, as also the present volume and the remainder, five in all yet to appear, of this series, embracing, with the exception of the Imitation, the complete works on Kempis. Various parts, in fact quite a large proportion of these writings have been already rendered into English, and in many cases well, but at various times, by various hands, in various forms; and it was felt that even a thorough sup plement of the portions not yet translated or not translated satisfactorily could in no wise com pare with the advantages of a complete, uniform edition, one in fact to rival in English the work so admirably done by Dr. Pohl and Messrs. Her der in the original. The fact that there is a demand, irrespective of class and creed, for these writings of h Kempis in the vulgar tongue, is one that speaks well for the English people. And whatever other reasons may be brought forward in explanation, it seems to me that the chief cause is one that lies deep in the heart and conscience of the nation. The re markable love of Englishmen for the Imitation and for the other works of the saintly I'I Kempis may be traced to the strong, personal love which, in however lesser a degree, they share with him for Our Divine Saviour.
