Abstract
PROF. WATSON, who is already well known to philosophical students by his work on Kant, has, by the publication of this collection of lectures, laid a still larger circle of readers under an obligation. The recent congress at Oxford gave sufficient evidence of the present widespread interest in religion as a social phenomenon—an interest largely independent of any attitude towards its claims upon the individual. There will be many scientific students who will turn with profit to Prof. Watson's addresses—admirably lucid as they are, and agreeably free from technicalities— for a treatment of the subject that forms an entirely necessary complement to the comparative method.
