The Hibbert Journal.
This quarterly has completed its twenty-first year, with a circulation that has been "large from the first" and is "now solidly established." The editor, Dr. L. P. Jacks, and the Hibbert Trustees are to be congratulated on the success of their admirable journal—a success attained by sound writing and by a rare independence in treating religious and philo- sophic themes. We may commend especially in the July issue Sir Oliver Lodge's fine essay on "The First Man and the Second," Mr. Watkin Davies's judicious paper on Renan, Mr. C. G. Montefiore's thoughtful study of Judaism and Europe," and Professor Lutoslawski's very remarkable account of "Time Conversion of a Psychologist," in which he describes how, after twenty years of unbelief, he was suddenly converted on November 12th, 1900. The learned philosopher is no more able to explain his conversion than were Augustine or Loyola or Fox or Bunyan, though he sets down his spiritual experiences in modern scientific terms.
