WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
I.
HISTORY OF RATIONAL THEOLOGY
AND
CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLAND
IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.
Second Edition, 2 vols. 8vo, £1, 8s.
Edinburgh Review.
The pleasure with which Principal Tulloch explores this comparatively unknown field communicates itself to his readers, and the academic groves of Oxford and Cambridge are invested with the freshness of a new glory.
Athenæum.
It is rich in pregnant and suggestive thought.
Saturday Review.
Here we must take our respectful leave of this large-minded, lively, and thoughtful work, which deserves to the full the acceptance it cannot fail to receive.
Spectator.
Every thoughtful and liberal Englishman who reads these volumes will feel that Principal Tulloch has laid him under obligations in writing them.
British Quarterly Review.
Ample scholarship, well-disciplined powers, catholic sympathies, and a masculine eloquence, give it a high place among modern contributions to theological science.

From his lively portraits they will learn to know some of the finest spirits England has produced; while from his able and comprehensive summaries of the works they left behind them, any reader of quick intelligence may acquaint himself with their leading thoughts.
