In the matter of weighing the jevidence for or against a future life few of us can free ourselves from personal considerations. Be- reavement, Buccess or failure, calamity, and a foarful looking- forward to of judgment,'-all have their effects. But we place more worth on the judgments or deci- slons of a person in proportion as he is able to free himself from these personal considerations. Thus, of all the great writers there are few whose opinions seem to have been less under the away of the personal equation than those of David Hume. His mind acems to have been an almost un- biased logical machine.
Just the reverse seems to be the case with the book before us. At every turn, even where he does not mention the matter directly we feel the author's anxiety to entice The reader to accept the conclusions to which he has come. There is none of that scientific aloofness which merely lays down the syllog-

We be lleve therefore we are justified in saying that there is a certain fun- damental difference between the doctrine of immortality adumbrat- ed in this volume and the doctrine as promulgated, say, by the Church of Rome.
