Excerpt from The Postulates of Revelation, and of Ethics The two courses of lectures included in this volume are those repeatedly given by their author while he held the position of Lecturer on Theology and Ethics in the Meadville Theological School. The lectures on the Postulates of Revelation were last delivered in the Spring of 1891; and their delivery was, as it happened, the last work of his life. Of this course, the last two lectures were also included among those given at the Lowell Institute in Boston, in 1870, on the Natural Sources of Religious Knowledge. Though they repeat some points of the earlier lectures, they are inserted in this place, partly because they were sometimes used in connection with the others, but mainly because they treat one or two topics more fully, and give a certain complete ness to the expression of the author's thought. Espe cially characteristic and valuable are some portions of the chapter on Authority and Influence.
