Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nineteenth Century Teachers: And Other Essays The following Essays were published at different times and in different periodicals, the longer ones mostly in the Contemporary Review, the shorter in the Spectator newspaper, and one an address to Female Students, on p. 387, has not previously been published at all. They represent the thoughts and convictions of about thirty years - convictions illustrated by varying circumstances and experiences, but themselves unchanged except so far as time has deepened and expanded them. The book has therefore a certain unity, whatever that may be worth. I am not responsible for its appearance, but have felt justified in acceding to the request (at first arousing some hesitation) of a reader and writer whose judgment is so worthy of confidence as Dr. Robertson Nicoll. The reperusal of these half-forgotten productions has convinced me that they arc the best I have to give any one who cares to receive from me. Attention is solicited for their dates. Their publication spreads over a period of much and rapid change, and some references and illustrations would ill fit the date of their republication. The value of all periodical literature must be largely historical - what follows here specially so - for its comments, so far as they have any value, illustrate a great revolution of thought. They began in the twilight of one orthodoxy, they follow another from its dawn to its noon, and somewhat beyond it.
