My Dear Tyndall, I Should Have Liked To Provide This Collection Of "Lay Sermons, Addresses, And Reviews," With A Dedication And A Preface. In The Former, I Should Have Asked You To Allow Me To Associate Your Name With The Book, Chiefly On The Ground That The Oldest Of The Papers In It Is A Good Deal Younger Than Our Friendship. In The Latter, I Intended To Comment Upon Certain Criticisms With Which Some Of These Essays Have Been Met. But, On Turning The Matter Over In My Mind, I Began To Fear That A Formal Dedication At The Beginning Of Such A Volume Would Look Like A Grand Lodge In Front Of A Set Of Cottages; While A Complete Defence Of Any Of My Old Papers Would Simply Amount To Writing A New One--A Labour For Which I Am, At Present, By No Means Fit. The Book Must Go Forth, Therefore, Without Any Better Substitute For Either Dedication, Or Preface, Than This Letter; Before Concluding Which It Is Necessary For Me To Notify You, And Any Other Reader, Of Two Or Three Matters. The First Is, That The Oldest Essay Of The Whole, That "On The Educational Value Of The Natural History Sciences," Contains A View Of The Nature Of The Differences Between Living And Not-Living Bodies Out Of Which I Have Long Since Grown. Secondly, In The Same Paper, There Is A Statement Concerning The Method Of The Mathematical Sciences, Which, Repeated And Expanded Elsewhere, Brought Upon Me, During The Meeting Of The British Association At Exeter, The Artillery Of Our Eminent Friend Professor Sylvester. No One Knows Better Than You Do, How Readily I Should Defer To The Opinion Of So Great A Mathematician If The Question At Issue Were Really, As He Seems To Think It Is, A Mathematical One. But I Submit, That The Dictum Of A Mathematical Athlete Upon A Difficult Problem Which Mathematics Offers To Philosophy, Has No More Special Weight, Than The Verdict Of That Great Pedestrian Captain Barclay Would Have Had, In Settling A Disputed Point In The Physiology Of Locomotion.

George MacDonald (10 December 1824 – 18 September 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, [1] Walter de la Mare, [2] E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle.[1] C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours later," said Lewis, "I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." G. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence". [more]

This Sunday Is The First Of The Four Sundays In Advent. During Those Four Sundays, Our Forefathers Have Advised Us To Think Seriously Of The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ--Not That We Should Neglect To Think Of It At All Times. As Some Of You Know, I Have Preached To You About It Often Lately. Perhaps Before The End Of Advent You Will All Of You, More Or Less, Understand What All That I Have Said About The Cholera, And Public Distress, And The Sins Of This Nation, And The Sins Of The Labouring People Has To Do With The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But I Intend, Especially In My Next Four Sermons, To Speak My Whole Mind To You About This Matter As Far As God Has Shown It To Me; Taking The Collect, Epistle, And Gospels, For Each Sunday In Advent, And Explaining Them.
