Ten years elapsed between the delivery of the late Professor G. F. Stout's Gifford Lectures and the publication of the first volume which he based upon them. That volume, entitled Mind and Matter, was not a transcription of any part of the original course but an independent work setting out afresh the views advanced by the author on some of the topics discussed in the lectures. It was notable especially for its refutation of materialism and for a suggestive, but not in my view altogether plausible, account of causality inclining to a somewhat animistic view of Nature. The former has rarely been rivalled and gives the first volume a permanent importance for students of philosophy. In the course of developing his views the author made it plain that there was implicit in them for him the more positive notion of one universal and eternal Mind developing and expressing itself in the world of finite and changeable beings. It was his intention to set out these ideas also in an independent work; but, anticipating that the project might not be carried out, he also left instructions with his son, Professor A. K. Stout, to prepare the appropriate parts of the original course for publication in the event of the work to be based upon them not being available at the author's death. It is thus the parts of the lecture course that were not absorbed into Mind and Matter that appear now under the title God and Nature, and it is a tribute both to the lectures themselves and to the skill of the editor that there are
