The object of the Boston Monday Lectures is to present te results of the freshest German, English, and American scholarship, on the more important and dif Eicalt topics concerning the relations of Religion and Science. They were begun in the Meionaon in 1875; and the audiences, gathered at noon on Mondays, were of such size as to need to be transferred to Park-street Church in October, 1876, and thence to Tremont Temple, which was often more than full during the winter of 187 -77, and in that of 1877-78. The very capacious auditorium of Tremont Temple was destroyed by fire in A ugust, 1879; and in November, 1879, the lectures were transferred to the Old South Meeting House, the most interesting of the historic edifices of New England. The audiences have always contained large numbers of ministers, teachers, and other educated men. The thirty-five lectures given in 187 -77 were reported in the Boston Daily A dvertiser, by Mr. J. E. Bacon, stenographer; and most of them were republished in full in New York and London. They are contained in the first, second, and third volumes of Boston Monday Lectures, entitled Biology, Transcendentalism, and Orthodoxy. The thirty lectures given in 1877-78 were reported by Mr. Bacon for the A dvertiser, and republished in full in New York and London.
