' Preachers and Teachers ' opens with a study of famous and 

 characteristic EngUsh, or more accurately British, preacliers. 

 These are Hugh Latimer, Robert Hall, Edward Irving, Robertson 

 of Brighton, H. P. Liddon, C. H. Spurgeon, and John Caird, 

 representing very different types of pulpit eloquence. This is 

 followed by chapters descriptive of the personality, teaching, or 

 method of certain Christian doctors, ancient and modern : St. 

 Augustine, St. Martin of Tours, Bishop Butler, and Edward Irving. 

 The last of these, having been dealt with briefly as an orator in 

 Chapter I., is here described more fully as a leader of religious 

 thought, with the help of private documents in the possession of the 

 writer, which present, as he believes, a more accurate picture of the 

 man and his true place in the history of religion than the somewhat 

 distorted portrait of popular imagination. The volume contains 

 also a survey of preaching in the Church of England during the 

 seventeenth century, beginning with Lancelot Andrewes in the age 

 immediately succeeding the Reformation, and passing on through 

 Laud and Jeremy Taylor to Tillotson, who verges on the Georgian 

 age. The whole book is designed to lead up to the final chapter on 

 the ]\Iodern Pulpit, in which the Author discusses the principles 

 which ought to guide the preacher in his presentation of the Christian 

 message to the men and women of to-day. This chapter frankly 

 accepts the ideal of the Christian preacher as the prophet who is 

 bound to deliver the one Truth, as he is able to see it, to the critical 

 conscience of his hearers. This involves, among other matters, a 

 discussion of the pulpit and politics, which is not likely to pass 

 unchallenged.

Little need be said with regard to the concluding volume of Sir 

 Herbert Maxwell's great history, which covers the period from 1867 

 to 1900. In one important respect it differs from its predecessors. 

 Only a small minority of readers can have a personal recollection of 

 the events dealt with in even the latter part of the second volume, 

 but the third treats of matters within the memory of most of us, and
