Lectures III and VII were repeated before the Reformed Church Seminary, New Brunswick, N. J. The title and topics as named at the several institutions varied somewhat in form, although substantially the same material was used. For purposes of publication, however, it is thought the general title chosen is on the whole the fittest. The origin of the lectures themselves is com- VI PREFACE posite.
