We have labored to be faithful, and yet not to offend the fastidious car. We have been anxious to preserve the serious tone and Spirit of the pious original. But, as imperfection is the fate of all human efforts, the candid reader will no doubt discover many inaccuracies. Any friendly suggestion, therefore, pointing out such defects, will be received with gratitude, and enable us to render a second edition more worthy of an intelligent public.May our labors be the instrument, in the hands of Providence, for promoting an acquaintance with the Book of Concord, the norm of all genuine Lutherans Since 1580, and for extending the doctrines taught by the illustrious Reformer!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
