Opis: The Coming of the Slav (Classic Reprint) - Edwards Charles Eugene

Excerpt from The Coming of the Slav

The following preface was written during the busy sessions of the Pan-Presbyterian Council at Pittsburgh in September, 1921, by Dr. F. Zilka. He is a professor in the Evangelical Theological Faculty of John Huss in the University of Prague, and was decorated by the Sorbonne of Paris. Rev. J. V. Kovar translated it from the Bohemian; and it is worthy of mention that Mr. Kovar traveled thousands of miles in Siberia with Czechoslovak troops. The writer wishes here to express cordial gratitude for the kindness of Prof. Zilka, and of Mr. Kovar.

It is not customary for a foreigner to call the attention of the reading public to a book by a native author, and it was only with great hesitation that I yielded to Dr. Edwards' request to write these few sentences. In explanation of this unusual step, and at the same time in justification of it, is the fact that the subject of the book is far more alien to American readers than to myself. To me, as a Slav and a Czech, the matter with which Dr. Edwards is dealing is indeed near, very near to my heart. For this reason, though with some doubts, I consented to violate custom, and as a foreigner address a few words to American readers.

Let me say, right at the beginning, that the book of Dr. Edwards bears traces of its American origin; it is specifically American. I think that any Slav would deal with the subject in a different way.
