Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foregleams of Christianity: An Essay on the Religious History of Antiquity 'We have gone a long way since Maurice delivered his Boyle Lectures, and Mr. Scott has kept his eye persistently on the masters who have spoken since,'... 'This essay in its revised edition will take its place in the great and fascinating course of study that lies before us - the study of comparative religions.' - Expository Times, May, 1893. 'We have every confidence in recommending Mr. Scott's new edition to our readers.' - Religious Review of Reviews, October 14, 1893 'The book shows wonderful industry and collection of authorities, with an ingenious arrangement of the elements of the various religious systems, but whilst the great leading results may be acceptable as being (probably) commonly agreed on, one stands in doubt of "the sacerdotal organization of which the type has been most perfectly realized in the apostolical succession."' - Presbyterian, October 20, 1893. 'Certainly Mr Scott deserves thanks for having continued his able and suggestive work.' - Glasgow Herald, January 26, 1893. 'Some excellent remarks on the acceptance of polytheism by such races as the Greek may be found in Foregleams of Christianity,' - Herbert H. Jeaffreson, The Church of The Living God. 'Un savant anglais, W. Scott, en un livre que je regrette de ne pas voir traduit dans notre langue, Foregleams of Christianity, excelle a mettre en lumiere la vérite de toutes les erreurs, la legitimité de tous les systemes, faux par ce qu'ils nient, vrais par ce qu'ils affirment.' - Joseph Serre, La Religion De Desprit Large. Opinions of the Press on the First Edition. 'The appearance of such an essay, written from the orthodox side, by one who is no less fearless than true, augurs well for the future defenders of the Faith, and amply proves that really Catholic minds can be more liberal and broadly sympathetic than those whose boasted toleration has very awkward and narrow limits.'... In order to encourage our readers to procure the essay and study it with the attention it deserves, we just note the subjects of the chapters.'... 'For English readers we know of no better guide to the subject with which it deals, and venture to hope that the author may be induced to follow up a line of study for which he is so well prepared.' - Church Times, December 27, 1878. 'To Mr C. N. Scott's "Foregleams of Christianity" must be assigned an important place among the semi-theological publications of the present season.'... 'Mr Scott's method may be heartily commended.
