Excerpt from The Founders of Christianity

When I first resolved to publish the following lectures, I intended to crowd the pages with foot notes containing quotations to justify every asser tion I have made. I soon found, however, this would defeat the purpose I have in view. For, it would more than double the size of the volume; and that, together with the expense of setting up some of the type it would be necessary to employ, would so increase the price of the book, that it would put it beyond the reach of many into whose hands I hope it will fall. I, therefore, publish the lectures nearly verbatim as they were deliver ed, and merely add a note here and there by way of explanation.

In doing so, I know the extent to which I lay myself open to the assaults of those who occupy a position antagonistical to my own. They can contradict and deny at will, and even impugn every one of the facts upon which my reasonings are built, as pure fabrications. But I shall await the issue, and should any serious attack be made upon my position, will reply in another form at the proper time.
