A LECTURER WHO Is NOT BORE.-Dr. Brown
sons lecture at the Cooper Institute on Tuesday
night was very entertaining affair. OF its
orthodoxy we do not pretend to judge; to its
originality and eccentricity we can bear testi-
mony. The audience were amused if not con-
WINGED, which is saying more than can be said for
lecturers generally. The Doctor possesses first
rate qualifications for lecturer for he has boxed
the compass in regard to creeds, and is equally
accommodating in respect to political theories.
He is, to be sure, somewhat paradoxical at times,
as in his famous smile about diving and dead
religions" but this will render him all the more
popular with our lecture audiences, who are not
particular as to the consistency of the arguments
they listen to.
