The first of these essays appeared originally in the Atlantic Monthly; the Saint Augustine in the Hibbert Journal; the Sir Thomas Browne, the Bunyan, and the Rousseau in the Nation and New York Evening Post; the Socrates and The Apology, together with the Crito and the closing scene of the Phado, in a little volume of the Riverside Literature Series under the title of The Judgment of Socrates. The other three essays have not before been printed. As usual I have altered and added considerably in lifting the articles from magazine to book. I may add that

I had the pleasure of reading three of these essays, together with two others not printed, in the course of lectures given this year at the University of Cincinnati to inaugurate a new chair of comparative literature.
