PREFATORY NOTE

"

Of the Essays collected in this volume, those on "Confucius" and on "Christianity and Civilisation" have been already published in Good Words; the address on "Preaching" was separately issued by Messrs. Maclehose of Glasgow; the Essay on "Marcus Aurelius was printed in the Madras Christian College Magazine; and the remaining papers were contributed to the British and Foreign Evangelical Review. To the Editors and Publishers concerned I am indebted for permission to republish. Some of the papers are rather out of date, and had I been writing them now, I should probably have expressed myself differently on one or two points, but I have judged it better on the whole to reprint without alteration.
