Excerpt from The Lost Dream: Or Exposition of the Dream of Nebuchadnezzar, and Other, Visions and Prophecies of the Book of Daniel This work is not a commentary nor an exposition of the Book of Daniel as a book, but merely a brief exposition of its prophetical part. Hence the reader will not find in it any discussion of controverted points connected with the date, authorship, authenticity and inspiration of the book. The author of this work proceeds upon the accepted and well-nigh universal belief of evangelical Christendom upon these questions, and, consequently, does not enter upon their discussion at all, as matters or things in doubt or requiring discussion. That the Book of Daniel was really written by the one who claims to have written it, and at the time, place and circumstances in which he states that it was done to the great mass of evangelical and orthodox Christendom is not an open question, and admits of scarcely a reasonable doubt. It goes almost without saying. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
