Excerpt from The Christian Offering for MDCCCXXXII

There can be no doubt entertained, by a reflecting mind, that the wide diffusion of the light and elegant literature of the day is exerting a powerful influence on the community, and especially on the youthful mind; and it is therefore incumbent on the friends of truth to aid the circulation of such works of taste as shall produce the best moral and religious effects.

In this volume, an attempt has been made to show, that literary elegance and Christian instruction may happily coalesce.

The editor feels his obligations to the kindness of those who have enriched his volume with their efforts, and hopes for a continuance of their aid.
