The first two lectures not given by author, ie. Criteria of truth by very Rev. Archibald Boyd & History of the Meditation by very Rev. J.S. Howson. . The dated lectures are the extra one. The Two Records: Mosiac and Geological by Hugh Miller. Dated February 7, 1854 No 11. The Life of Jesus its own witness by Rev. J.M. MCulloch. Dated December 14, 1858 & No 12. The Influence of Society in the Formation of Character by Rev. John Graham. Dated December 6th, 1859. The extra lecture has page numbers 375 407 so from another book, but lecture 6 seems to be from another book too? As pages number 61-98. So not sure what is going on. But does seem this copy is unique, even though most other dealers & many institutions do not bother listing exactly what their books contain. This was an extremely popular series that featured many of the leading Evangelical preachers of the day. These evangelical lectures were on various points of faith, science, and contemporary culture . To sum up, a unique copy. Size: 18.5 x 12.5cm. Approx.
