 COSMOGONY OF GENESIS CONSIDERED IN ITS 

 RELATION TO MODERN SCIENCE. By George War- 

 ington, Author of " The Historic Character of the Pentateuch 

 Vindicated." Crown Svo. 4s. 6d. 



The greater part of this work it taken up with the teaching of the 

 Cosmogony. Its purpose is also investigated, and a chapter is 

 devoted to the consideration of the passage in which the difficulties 

 occur. "A very able vindication of the Mosaic Cosmogony, by a 

 writer who unites the advantages of a critical knowledge of the 

 Hebrezv text and of distinguished scientific attainments." — 

 Spectator.

RELIGIO CHEMICI. With a Vignette beautifully engraved after 

 a design by Sir Noel Paton. Crown Svo. 8s. 6d. 



" George Wilson,' 1 '' says the Preface to this volume, "had it in his heart 

 for many years to write a book corresponding to the Religio Medici 

 of Sir Thomas Bro-wne, with the title Religio Chemici. Several 

 of the Essays in this volume were intended to form chapters of it. 

 These fragments being in most cases like finished gems waiting to be 

 set, some of them are now given in a collected form to his friends 

 and the public. In living remembrance of his purpose, the name 

 chosen by himself has been adopted, although the original design 

 can be but very faintly represented." The Contents of the volume 

 are: — " Chemistry and Natural Theology." " The Chemistry of 

 the Stars ; an Argument touching the Stars and their Inhabitants." 

 " Chemical Final Causes; as illustrated by the presence of Phos- 

 phorus, Nitrogen, and Iron in the Higher Sentient Organisms." 

 ' ' Robert Boyle. " " Wollaston." ' ''life and Discoveries of Dalton." 

 " Thoughts on the Resurrection ; an Address to Medical Students." 

 "A more fascinating volume," the Spectator says, "has seldom 

 fallen into our hands." The Freeman says: "These papers are all 

 valuable and deeply interesting. The production of a profound 

 thinker, a suggestive and eloquent writer, and a man whose piety 

 and genius went hand in hand."
