Excerpt from Sectarian School-Books: A Series of Letters
The letters reprinted in this pamphlet originally appeared in the Dedham Standard, beginning in the issue of that paper dated Nov. 24, 1888, and closing in its issue of April 13, 1889.
It was not my intention to republish them in this form when they were written, and I only do so at the solicitation of friends who are desirous that the whole correspondence shall be submitted to the general public. They were writ ten hurriedly, and as usual haste made waste, so that the reader will find in them some repetitions and digressions, besides other imperfections that have necessarily attended so long and desultory a correspondence. In these apologetic words I speak, of course, only for my own contributions.
With only a few corrections of obvious slips of the pen, or errors of the types, I have reprinted them as they appeared in the columns of the Standard. I have also added a number of foot-notes.
