The Religious Teachers of Greece: Being Gifford Lectures on Natural Religion Delivered at Aberdeen (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Religious Teachers of Greece: Being Gifford Lectures on Natural Religion Delivered at Aberdeen This book represents the substance of the Gifford Lectures delivered in Aberdeen in December 1904, June and December 1905, and June 1906. The Lectures were revised by the author, and proofs were read and corrected by him down to the end of Lecture XVII. The Ms. of the remaining Lectures was sent to the press about a fortnight before his death, and no proofs of this portion were seen by him, nor had he finally passed the sheets of any part of the book. He intended to go through the whole again carefully, verifying references where he had not already done so. This duty and the correction of Lectures XVIII-XXII have devolved upon me, and, as I have verified the references throughout, the responsibility for any errors that may be found in the text or footnotes, rests with me. A small part of the index had been made, and I have endeavoured to complete it on the same lines. The author, when he thought that he might not live to finish his task himself, bade me make known his misgiving as to the merits of his work.
