Description:Excerpt from History of the Christian Church This translation was undertaken because its authors knew of no work in English winch precisely corresponded with it. The histories of Milner, Waddington, Milman, Stebbing, Hardwicke and Robertson, and the translations of Mosheim, Neander, Dollinger, Thiersch and Schaff, have severally specific merits with reference to the objects of their composition; but many of them are incomplete as general histories, most of them were written so as to give undue prominence to some single aspect of the characters and events of which they treat, and all of them are too large to be used either as manuals for the scholar, as text-books for the instructor, or as compendiums for the general reader. Some attempts to supply the deficiency by Palmer, Timpson, Foulkes, Hinds, Goodrich and Ruter, have met with no very general acceptance. A miniature representation of a vast mass of facts, in which each personage and event shall appear in their individual freshness and relative proportions, requires for its execution peculiar talents and rare opportunities. The Germans appear to possess these in a greater degree than any other people. Their learned men highly appreciate the value of such manuals, and their literature abounds in them. One of these, by Dr. Gieseler, has been translated, and is almost invaluable. But its text is a mere epitome of results, and bears no proportion to the vast materials in the notes, and the narrative awakens no interest.
