Rese�a del editor

The object of the Boston Monday Lectures is to present the results of the freshest German, English, and American scholarship on the more important and difficult topics concerning the relation of Eeligiou 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 9f 1876-77, and in that of 1877-78. The audiences contained large numbers of ministers, teachers, and other educated men. The thirty-five lectures given in 1876-77 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 lectures on Biology oppose the materialistic, and not the theistic, theory of evolution. The lectures on Transcendentalism and Orthodoxy contain a discussion of the views of Theodore Parker. 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. They are contained in the fourth, fifth, and sixth volumes of Boston Monday Lectures, entitled Conscience, Heredity, and Marriage. In the present volume some of the salient points are: 1. The definition of conscience as that which perceives and feels rightness and obligatoriness in choices (p. 17).
