Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1874, by In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington. JOHN F. TROW & SON, 205-213 East 12th St., NEW YORK. TO THE READER. Ir will be readily understood, that the authors of the ensuing Essays are responsible for their respective articles only. They have written in entire independence of each other, and without concert or comparison. The volume, it is hoped, will be received as an attempt to illustrate the advantage derivable to the cause of religious and moral truth from a free handling, in a becoming spirit, of subjects peculiarly liable to suffer by the repetition of conventional language, and from traditional methods of treatment.
