Excerpt from The Religion of the Future

The following pages are reprinted here without material altera tions from the First Edition. The time which has elapsed since their composition was too short for getting any fresh views about the questions considered in them. They evoked no criticisms worthy of notice, when first published singly in the Leipsic weekly Journal, Literature, edited by Paul Wislicenus; and the first collected publication of them, con sisting of two thousand copies, was bought up within eight weeks. Accordingly, there has not been any interval long enough to enable me to give an answer to some of the more important rejoinders, by issuing a fresh Edition with elucida tions and additions. Some political and ecclesiastical Journals hastened to criticise the First Edition, but failed to bring any weightier arguments forward.~ Most of my critics drew a close parallel between my little book and Strauss's The Old Faith and the New. I, for my part, cannot complain of this parallel which writers of the most various standpoints put into prominence, nor of the censure accruing to me from the comparison with Strauss.
