      seldom containing facts hitherto unpublished , . It has been the aim of the editor to do justice

      to all schools of thought , so as to furnish a fair reflex of the preaching of the Church of

      England at the present time . In the course of an amusing article on ' The

      ( confidentially ) to all makers of books : — ' The only safe rule is resolutely to set forth

      the merits of the book in the preface , and to be silent as to its faults . Do not apologise for

      anything . Confess nothing . If there . are omissions , pride yourself on them . If the

      book has an inevitable defect , boast of it . A man has the qualities of his faultssays the

      French maxim . In a preface a man , must defiantly set up his faults as qualities . Of

      course this needs to be done with the greatest skilland it is seen in perfection only in the

      prefaces , of those who have both taste and tact , and who combine a masculine vigour of

      handling with a feminine delicacy of touch . Anybody can write a bookas I have said alread
