compelled to
reconsider from a fresh point of view. As an interpreter of
Scripture also, Mr. Robertson nowhere appears to greater
advantage. While not ignoring difficult points, he is always

edifying."
From a few of the Notices on Mr. Robertson's "_The Human Race and
other Sermons_."
[THE ACADEMY.]
"It need not be said that there is here much that is beautiful and

[THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.]
"The volume is as fresh and striking and suggestive as any of its

"These Sermons exhibit many of those features of unsurpassable

suggestiveness, and are marked by that rare beauty of style which
Mr. Robertson's readers have learned to associate with all his
Sermons. His devoted admirers--and how numerous they are--will be
sure to place this new volume upon their shelves."

discussion of the highest subjects in the familiar letters so
admirably selected by the Editor of Mr. Robertson's _Life_, will
