Excerpt from Recollections of James Martineau: With Some Letters From Him and an Essay on His Religion AS this little volume is intended to deal with James Martineau principally as a great spiritual teacher and as a friend in private life, it is scarcely necessary to say very miich about the merely external events of his life, though I have a good deal to say as to his personality and his conversa tions With me. I will give only a brief statement of such outward circumstances as helped to deter mine his intellectual, moral, and religious char acter. A very good summary of his long life may be found in an article about him in the Dictionary of N ational Biography.
