137 limes of liis History have been superseded in part by the rapid progress of discovery and research since his death, but they will nevertheless continue to be a mine of intel- lectual and spiritual wealth ; while the spirit of evangel- ical catholicity which pervades all his works is a perma- nent gain and a wholesome stimulus and guide to every student of theology. But we do not intend here to enlarge on his writings,, of which we have spoken elsewhere. "We confine our- selves to personal r...eminiscences of what he was as a man, as a teacher, and as a Christian. THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE. In his appearance, to begin with what struck every one in an unusual degree, Neander was a perfect original — we might say, one of the rarest natural curiosities. Yet his uncommon exterior betokened an uncommon interior. Even his clothing — a well-worn coat of ancient cut (we never knew him to wear a dress-coat) ; jack -boots reach- ing above the knees ; a white cravat carelessly tied, often on one side of the neck, or behind it ; an old-fash- ioned hat set aslant on the back of his head — all this presented an oddity which seemed to mock the elegant refinement of Berlin, and yet he was greeted respectfully by everybody who knew him, from the king to the lounger at the street-corner.
