Six Lectures on the Ante - Nicene Fathers. By F. J. A.

Hort, D.D. (Macmillan and Co.)—" These," writes the editor in his prefatory note, "were almost the only popular lectures which Dr. Hort gave." Commonly the extreme condensation of matter makes Dr. Hort's work very difficult of assimilation by the ordinary reader. This volume will be found of a somewhat different kind, though not less carefully thought out.
