"In presenting these pages to the Christian public, the object of the author is simply to exhibit Christ and Him crucified as the only hope of a lost world. In this essay we have endeavored to speak of the Excellency of the subject- of the Person of Christ- of the Glory of Christ- of Christ Crucified- of Redemption by Christ- of the New Song in Glory- of the Sum and Substance of the Gospel- of the only Hope of the Sinner- and of the Cross of Christ. This volume is now commended to the blessing of God. May He grant that, through these page, some despairing soul may be led to hope in Christ and Him crucified. May sinners be attracted by the glory of the cross of Jesus; may saints he built up in their "most holy faith;" and to the Eternal Father, Son, and Spirit, a triune God, be all the praise."
