“One of the most marked features of these lectures is the deep feeling which the preacher had of the emptiness and hollowness of the conventional religionism of the day.  The clap-trap of popular ministers, the pride and uncharitableness of exclusive Evangelicalism, the pomp and pretension of ritualism and priestly affectation—­the miserable Pharisaism which is lurking underneath them all—­form the subject of many strikingly true and often cutting remarks.  He has no patience with the unrealities of sectarian purism and pedantic orthodoxy.  His constant cry, the constant struggle of his soul is for reality.  Hence while his views of objective truth are at times deficient, or, at least, very imperfectly stated, he leaves a deep impress of subjective religion upon the mind, by a style of teaching which, far from uninstructive, is yet more eminently suggestive.”

 [THE SPECTATOR.]

“The Notes on Genesis—­sketches more or less full of lectures on Genesis, delivered by Mr. Robertson—­will be welcomed by the many who have read, with a profound interest, those writings of his which have already been given to the world....  Few will be able to read this volume without having brought before them certain passages out of their own lives, which they will be compelled to reconsider from a fresh point of view.  As an interpreter of Scripture also, Mr. Robertson nowhere appears to greater advantage.  While not ignoring difficult points, he is always looking for, and never fails to find, that which is profitable and edifying.”

 other Sermons.”

 [THE ACADEMY.]

   “It need not be said that there is here much that is beautiful and
    happily expressed.”

 [THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.]

“The volume is as fresh and striking and suggestive as any of its predecessors.  For unconventional and spiritual conceptions of Bible teachings; for unexpected, penetrating, and practical applications of them, and for general spiritual truth and force, these Sermons and Notes of Sermons are as noble as their predecessors.”

 [THE ENGLISH CHURCHMAN.]

   “We are glad to see the publication of the eloquent Sermons now
    before us, especially those of a devout and practical character,
    such as those on the human race and education.”

 [THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.]

“These Sermons exhibit many of those features of unsurpassable excellence which have gained for the preacher a reputation which has had no equal in our time.  They are full of thought and suggestiveness, and are marked by that rare beauty of style which Mr. Robertson’s readers have learned to associate with all his Sermons.  His devoted admirers—­and how numerous they are—­will be sure to place this new volume upon their shelves.”
