Excerpt from War: An Essay

In reprinting this Essay, the Editors desire to remind its readers that it is only one of a series of Essays on Christian Morality by the same gifted writer, and that the others are characterized by the same clear and cogent reasoning so noteworthy in the one now published. In preparing the Essay on War for the press, they have thought it best here and there to alter a word or sentence, or to omit a passage or note, with a view to either modern usage, clearness, brevity, or changed conditions, but they have in no case interfered with the author's argument, either in its management or development. They desire earnestly to commend the Essay to the careful and unprejudiced consideration of all thoughtful people.
