CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEOLOGICAL SCIENCE. 



BY JOHN HARRIS, D. D. 



I. THE PRE-ADAMITE EARTH. 



NOTICES OP THE PRESS. 



" As we have examined every page of this work, and put forth our best efforts to un- 

 derstand the full import of its varied and rich details, the resistless impression has come 

 over our spirits, that the respected author has heen assisted from on high in his labo- 

 rious, but successful undertaking. May it please God yet to aid and uphold him, to 

 complete his whole design ; for we can now see. if we mistake not, that there is great 

 unity as well as originality and beauty in the object which he is aiming to accomplish. 

 If we do not greatly mistake, this long looked for volume, will create and sustain a 

 deep impression in the more intellectual circles of the religious world." London Evan- 

 gelical Magazine. 



" The man who finds his element among great thoughts, and is not afraid to push 

 into the remoter regions of abstract truth, be he philosopher or theologian, or both, 

 will read it over and over, and will find his intellect quickened, as if from being in con- 

 tact with a new and glorious creation." Albany Argus. 



i; Dr. Harris states in a lucid, succinct, and often highly eloquent manner, all the 

 leading facts of geology, and their beautiful harmony with the teachings of Scrip- 

 ture. As a work of paleontology in its relation to Scripture, it will be one of the mosfc 

 complete and popular extant. It evinces great research, clear and rigid reasoning, and 

 a style more condensed and beautiful than is usually found in a work so profound. 

 It will be an invaluable contribution to Biblical Science." New York Evangelist. 



"He is a sound logician and lucid reasoner, getting nearer to the groundwork of a 

 subject generally supposed to have very uncertain data, than any other writer within 

 our knowledge." Neiu York Com. Advertiser. 



" The elements of things, the laws of organic nature, and those especially that lie afc 

 the foundation of the divine relations to man, are here dwelt upon in a masterly man- 

 ner." Christian Reflector, Boston. 



II. MAN PRIMEVAL; 



OR THE CONSTITUTION AND PRIMITIVE CONDITION OF THE HUMAN BEING. 



WITH A FINE PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR. 



NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



"It surpasses in interest its predecessor. It is an able attempt to carry out the 

 author's grand conception. His purpose is to unfold, as far as possible, the successive 

 steps by which God is accomplishing his purpose to manifest TTis All-sufficiency. * * * 

 The reader is led along- a pathway, abounding with rich and valuable thought, going 

 on from the author's opening propositions to then: complete demonstration. To stu- 

 dents of mental and moral science, it will be a valuable contribution, and will assuredly 

 secure theii attention." Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia. 



" It is eminently philosophical, and at the same time glowing and eloquent. It can- 

 not fail to have a wide circle of readers, or to repay richly the hours which are given 

 to its pages." Neio York Recorder. 



'" The reputation of the author of this volume is co-extensive with the English lan- 

 guage. The work before us manifests much learning and metaphysical acumen. Its 

 great recommendation is, its power to cause the reader to think and reflect." Boston 

 Recorder. 



"Reverently recognizing the Bible as the fountain and exponent of tntth, he is as in- 

 dependent and fearless as he is original and forcible ; and he adds to these qualities 

 consummate skill in argument and elegance of di2tion." N. Y. Com. Advertiser. 



" His copious and beautiful illustrations of the successive laws of the Divine Mani- 

 festation, have yielded us inexpressible delight." London Eclectic Review. 



" The distribution and arrangement of thought in this volume, are such as to afford 

 ample scope for the author's remarkable powers of analysis and illustration. L\ look- 

 ing with a keen and searching eye at the principles which regulate the conduct of God 

 towards man, as the intelligent inhabitant of this lower world, Dr. Harris has laid down 

 for himself three distinct, but connected views of the Divine procedure : First, The End. 

 aimed at by God ; Second, the Reasons for the employment of it. In a very masterly 

 way does our author grapple with almost every difficult}-, and perplexing subject which 

 comes within the range of his proposed inquiry into the constitution and condition 

 >f Man Primeval." London Evangelical History.
