Excerpt from Still Hours The name of Rothe is not by any means familiar to the English reader, but it may be confidently expected that the translation of the volume which is now presented will most favourably introduce that name to the notice of the cultured and thoughtful, as that of one to whom high rank among his own countrymen as a thinker and scholar has been most deservedly accorded. The sententious utterances which constitute the work before us reveal at once the man of deeply disciplined Christian Character, and of profound and thoroughly matured scholarship. In one respect such a collection of sayings on a wide range of subjects forms a fitting introduction to the study of the life-work of one who devoted all his powers to the elucidation of many of those themes to which passing reference is made, but, in another respect, it presupposes a certain acquaintance with the author's intellectual Characteristics and theological position, without which many of the summary re marks and terse criticisms could not be fully appre ciated.
