Tho subject announced in the title of this volume,
which consists OF tho popular lectures delivered by
the author before tho Lowell Institute in Boston,
and other intelligent audiences elsewhere, Is dis
cussed By him with modest intent, though with
grave earnestness Of spirit. lie diselaims the pur-
pose Of sounding the depths Of philosophy In AZ
tempting the solution Of tho problcm,-a sys-
tematic, exhaustive treatise does not cone within
the limits Of his plan but he aims only o, pre-
sentine such views "a have been suggested 90 his
mind by experience and rejection, without the de
sire or the prcense to oreclose further inquiry and
discussion. Ills book, accordingly, will not satisfy
the demand for profound analysis, OF speculative
acutenoss and originality. II will afford Little aid
10 the Intellectual dOubtcr or the subtle TeasOnci
on tho mysteries Of life. It's, in fact, addressed "a
the emotional nature rather tlan 10 tho reflective
understanding. Butts series Of vivid sYniheicpic-
lures POSSESS not little force and mpressyeness. A.

IT'S character II tho expression may be allowed, that
large portions eppeer less like discourse than q
solilOquy L. exhibits the workings OF an active
free and ingenious nature, addicted 20 cOntenpa-
ton, leenly obseryant Of tho developments Of life
and profoundly impressed with the burden Of is
problems. but With no clear perception OF ther so-
luton, and 10 insight Of principle which furnish
basis for faith. Many passages are rich il iustia-
ton, and singularly eloquent in stylei but they
leave deeper impression Of the sincerity and no.
beness of their purpose thhn of their power 10

Tho following paragraphsfrom the opening state
ment Of the problem are highly Characteristic Of The
author, and afford taste Of the general manner OF
the book:
