systems of religion. It is, though the last published of
his series, "Christ and Christianity," the introduction to the whole, and con- tains his views of the relation which Christianity bears to the other religions systems of the world. This, it will be seen at once, is a subject which the author finds congenial to his tone of thought. Whatever he is or is not, he is certainly sympathetic, and is prompt to recognise truth and goodness wherever he finds it. One of his chief failings is to sot the part of advocatus diaboli towards his own creed; but here the temptation does not present itself, and he can be just to other forms of belief, without being unjust to his own. We note some indications of haste and imperfect acquaintance with his subject ; bat, on the whole, we have an instructive piece of work, which will enlighten the judgment and quicken the sympathies of those who make themselves acquainted with it.
