"A Cyclopædia of Sacred Poetical Quotations" by H. G. Adams is a collection of religious poetry compiled in the late 19th century. This work presents a selection of poetic excerpts that explore sacred themes, drawn from various ages and cultures, and is organized under specific subject headings for easy reference. The compilation aims to provide readers with a complete resource for devotional poetry that reflects significant truths of Christianity and spiritual beliefs.
The opening of the text begins with an introduction and a preface outlining the editor's intent to create a comprehensive collection of religious poetry. It emphasizes the importance of sacred themes in poetry, citing various inspirational poets, and it stresses the goal of including only unsectarian works that transcend doctrinal differences. Additionally, the editor highlights the inclusion of scripture quotations to enrich the poetic passages selected, setting the tone for a book that aspires to be a profound source of spiritual reflection and inspiration for readers.
