KORTE INHOUD
'Of all the faculties wherewith God has endowed his noblest creature, none is more divine and mysterious than the faculty of speech. It is the gift whereby man is raised above the beasts; the gift whereby soul speaks to soul; the gift whereby mere pulses of articulated air become breathing thoughts and burning words; the gift whereby we understand the affections of men and give expression to the worship of God; the gift whereby the lip of divine inspiration uttering thins simple and unperfumed and unadorned, reacheth with its passionate voice through a thousand generations by the help of God.' (F.W. FARRAR, p.1). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover.
