Dr. Plummer, late Master of University College, Durham, shows how skillfully a learned man, who is also a teacher of experience, can gather, and invest with something of a new freshness, the conclusions of original authorities and modern investigators. He has read very widely, and he has the art of seizing the salient points and making them emphatic by a sharpness of phrase, or an aptness of quotation, which help to fix them in the memory. Eminently candid, judicious, and unprejudiced-There is no wonder these lectures have been widely popular.
