12 BOSTON MONDAY LECTURES. 



tensions of modern science as this great preacher in -whom Boston is 

 rejoicing. Some men shrink from this spiritual wild-hoar hunting, 

 but Mr. Cook is as happy in it as he is expert. May his arm be 

 strengthened by the Lord of hosts! 



London Quarterly Review. 



For searching philosophical analysis, for keen and merciless logic, 

 for dogmatic assertion of eternal truth in the august name of science 

 mch as thrills the soul to its foundations, for widely diversified and 

 most apt illustrations drawn from a-wide field of reading and obser- 

 vation, for true poetic feeling, for a pathos without any mixture of 

 sentimentality, for candor, for moral elevation, and for noble loyally 

 to those great Christian verities which the author affirms and vindi- 

 cates, these wonderful Lectures stand forth alone amidst the contem- 

 porary literature of the class to which they belong. 



London Baptist Magazine. 



Mr. Cook's "Monday Lectures" have already become one of the 

 most popular and useful institutions of America; and on this side 

 the Atlantic we know of no author, either British or American, who 

 is just now so widely read. 



Rev. A. Melville, Glasgow. 



It is because Mr. Cook refuses no real help that offers itself to 

 him from any quarter, that he finds firm footing on the heights to 

 which he climbs. His lectures present most valuable training for 

 dealing with all such questions, from the fact that they take so wide 

 a range, and combine so skilfully all departments of truth. — Intro- 

 duction to Glasgow edition of Boston Monday Lectures. 



The British Quarterly Review. 

 Mr. Cook is a man of wide reading, tenacious memory, acute 

 discrimination, and great power of popular exposition. Nothing 

 deters him. He plunges in medias res, however abstruse the specu- 

 lation, and his vigor and fire carry all before them. He has intui- 

 tive genius for pricking wind-bags, and for reducing over-sanguine 

 and exaggerated hypotheses to their exact value. He has called a 

 halt in many an impetuous march of science, and exposed a funda- 

 mental fallacy in many a triumphant argument. 



The London Spectator. 

 The incisiveness and raciuess of their style make the lectures 

 decidedly worthy of attention. The discussions of the permanence 

 of moral character and the self-propagating power of sin are striking 

 and forcible in no small degree. The lectures on the barrenness of 

 ethics without a personal God, and on " Trinity and Tritheism," are 

 full of true and elevating thoughts, and genuine and wholesome 

 Beutiment.
