Excerpt from Social Aspects of Christian Morality

These Lectures were delivered in Edinburgh in the winter of 1903-4. Only portions of them were then read, under the conditions of time and place imposed.

It will be noticed that the subjects of Wealth and Poverty are not discussed. They are so vast and wide in their range that the author felt it would be impossible to do justice to them in this volume. If time and health be given, he hopes in the future to treat these subjects in a manner and on a scale worthy of their great importance.

The author is very conscious of the value of the kindness bestowed, not only by an audience larger than he had ventured to anticipate, but also by the number of students of the University of Edinburgh who regularly attended the delivery of these Lectures.

To the Trustees of the Croall Mortification he begs to tender his most sincere thanks for the honour they conferred upon him by appointing him Lecturer, and for the confidence manifested in that appointment.
