PREFACE.
The
Hibbert
Trustees,
having
requested
the
publication
of
these
lectures,
desire
to
state
some
of
the
circumstances
which
led
to
their
delivery.
The
Founder
of
the
Trust,
Mr.
Robert
Hibbert,
who
died
in
1849,
bequeathed
a
sum
of
money
with
directions
that

income
should

manner
indicated
in
general
terms
printed
in
1874.^
For
many
years
the
Trustees
appropriated
their
funds
almost
entirely
to
the
higher
culture
of
students
for
the
Christian
ministry,
thus
carrying
out
the
in-
struction
to
adopt
such
scheme
as

"
in their
un-
controlled
discretion
from
time
to
time
"
should
deem
"most
conducive

to
the
spread
of
Christianity
in
its
intelligible
form,
and
to
the
un-
in
matters
of
fettered
exercise
of
private
judgment
In
succeeding
years other
applications
of
the
fund
have
been
suggested
to
the
Trustees,
some
of
which
have
been
adopted.
One
of
the
latest
has
been
the
institution
of
a

Lecture

a
plan
similar
to
that
