From a few of the Notices on Mr. Robertson's "_Lecture on the Epistles
to the Corinthians_:"--

[MORNING POST.]

"It was Mr. Robertson's custom every Sunday afternoon, instead of
preaching from one text, to expound an entire chapter of some book
in the Scriptures. The present volume is made up from notes of
fifty-six discourses of this kind. 'Some people were startled by
the introduction of what they called secular subjects into the
pulpit. But the lecturer in all his ministrations refused to
recognize the distinction so drawn. He said that the whole life of
a Christian was sacred--that common every-day doings, whether of a
trade, or of a profession, or the minuter details of a woman's
household life, were the arenas in which trial and temptation
arose; and that therefore it became the Christian minister's duty
to enter into this family working life with his people, and help
them to understand its meaning, its trials, and its
compensations.' It is enough to add that the lectures now given to
the public are written in this spirit."

[CRITIC.]

"Such discourses as these before us, so different from the shallow
rhapsodies or tedious hair-splitting which are now so much in

heard again in the pulpit. This single volume would in itself
establish a reputation for its writer."

[BRIGHTON HERALD.]

"... Were there no name on the title-page, the spirit which,
shines forth in these lectures could but be recognized as that of
the earnest, true-hearted man, the deep thinker, the sympathizer
with all kinds of human trouble, the aspirant for all things holy,
and one who joined to these rare gifts, the faculty of speaking to
his fellow-men in such a manner as to fix their attention and win
their love.... In whatever spirit the volume is read--of doubt, of
criticism, or of full belief in the truths it teaches--it can but
do good; it can but leave behind the conviction that here was a
genuine, true-hearted man, gifted with the highest intellect,
inspired by the most disinterested motives and the purest love for
his fellow-men, and that the fountain at which he warmed his heart
and
