" Professor Le Conte 2:rapples with some of the irravpst questions which agitate 

 the thinking world. He treats of them all with dignity and fairness, and in a 

 manner so clear, persuasive, and eloquent, as to engage the undivided attention 

 of the reader. We commend the book cordially to the regard of all who are 

 interested in whatever pertains to the discussion of these grave questions, and 

 especially to those who desire to examine closely the strong foundations on 

 which the Christian faith is reared."— Sosto^i Journal. 



"This volume is written with much clearness of thought and unusual clear- 

 ness of expression. It is partly a treatise on natural theology and partly a 

 defense of the Bible against the assaults of modern science. In the later aspect 

 the author's method is an eminently wise one. He accepts whatever science has 

 proved, and he also accepts the divine origin of the Bible. Where the two seem 

 to conflict, he prefers to await the reconciliation, which is inevitable if both are 

 true, rather than to waste time and words in inventing ingenious and doubtful 

 theories to force them into seeming accord. Both as a theologian and a man of 

 science, Professor Le Conte's opinions are entitled to respectful attention, and 

 there are few who will not recognize his book as a thoughtful and valuable con- 

 tribution to the best religious literature of the day."— iVez^ York World.
