‘Preachers and Teachers’ opens with a study of famous and 
characteristic English, or more accurately British, preachers. 
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 Modern 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
