Synopsis
Excerpt from Natural and Comparative Religion an Inaugural Lecture
It is to the munificence of Dr. Henry Wilde that this University is indebted for the foundation of the Lectureship upon the duties of which I enter to-day, and it is by his desire that its subject is designated as Natural and Comparative Religion. This title suggests at first sight that two kinds or species of Religion are intended, both of which the Wilde Lecturer is required to discuss. But, on a closer consideration, the expression Comparative Religion is seen to be appropriate not so much to a kind of Religion as to a way of treating the subject of Religion; just as Comparative Anatomy means the treatment of anatomy by the comparative method, and Comparative Philology the treatment of language by the comparative method, so will Comparative Religion be no more than a compendious equivalent for some such phrase as 'Religion studied by the Comparative method.'
