Abstract
LORD GIFFORD died in 1887 and left his estate to the four Scottish universities, to furnish lectures in natural religion since when, every year, many lectures have been delivered on the subject. To judge by some of them, the subject shows some signs of exhaustion but that may be because it touches two branches of knowledge—natural philosophy and religion and the people who are competent and willing to speak on their relationship are very few.
