Excerpt from The Christian Religion in the Study and the Street The present volume of my brother's papers and lec tures owes its existence to a belief that those who knew him and valued him as a teacher would not desire that any of his work should remain unpublished or relatively inaccessible. Rightly or wrongly, it was felt that the very lightness of his touch, the irrepressible gaiety of his presentation of things, and the informality of his style were calculated to obtain for him a hearing from some who would turn away from a more solemn treatment as too dull; while others will discern that learning need not be ponderous in order to be pro found, and that scintillating scholarship is no impos sible contradiction. Moreover there was the impression that even in those matters where there was no pretence to originality, a pronouncement from one who had gained so distinguished a place in the world of scholarship might carry a degree of weight and convic tion which would be entirely lacking from an identical pronouncement coming through other channels.
