The writings of CHANNING, whom Bunsen has characterized as "the grand Christian Saint and Man of God, -nay, also, a prophet of the Christian consciousness regarding the future," -are becoming yearly more known and more welcome, among Englishspeaking people in all parts of the globe; and translations of them have been, either wholly or in part, published in the German, French, Italian, Hungarian, Icelandic, and Russian languages.

The AMERICAN UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION, desiring to signalize this closing year of the first half century of its existence, issues this volume for gratuitous distribution in its missionary work, and to place within the reach of all in portable form, at the lowest possible cost, the writings of one who, in his noble service of spiritual freedom and pure Christianity, is yet in the early prime of his growing fame and beneficent influence.

BOSTON, Jan. 1, 1875.

Through the kindness of the family of the late REV. WILLIAM HENRY CHANNING, the Association is able to add to this and future editions the twelve discourses comprising the volume entitled THE PERFECT LIFE, which he edited from his uncle's manuscripts. There is also added a new and fuller index.

Jan 1, 1886.
