Essays constituting this volume have been composed during the intervals of a busy life, being originally delivered to various gatherings of laity and clergy. The series is now gathered together, and published in accordance with a desire expressed in various quarters. The Articles mainly fall into four divisions: (i) those dealing with Comparative History; (ii) those relating to problems concerning the rationalization of Miracle ;(iii) those addressed mainly ad clerum; (iv) those of a general character, affecting the community at large. The author has endeavoured to treat these various matters in a broad and tolerant spirit. This may be illustrated in respect of the question of the keeping of Sunday.
