looked for in a more pretentious book.”—_Morning Post_.
“Only a man naturally liberal-minded, and brought into frequent contact
with intellects of the most diverse order, could have written such a
work.”—_Edinburgh Daily Review_.
“A series of studies of eminent preachers in which the author deals with
the nature and causes of the influence they exercise, and the distinctive
principles which they advocate. This work has been performed
appreciatively and intelligently.”—_Scotsman_.
