The Origin of the World, according to Revelation and 

 Science. By J. W. Daavsox, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S. 



12mo, Cloth, |2 00. 



The revised work is a cyclopsedia that will be welcome to all who de- 

 sire a reconciliation of science and religion, in which the Scriptures re- 

 tain their authority. The appendices contain valuable scientific criti- 

 cism, and the treatise meets the controversy as it is to-d.ay. — North 

 American, Philadelphia, Pa. 



To all reverent students of the Bible this work will prove a valuable 

 boon in enabling them to determine the precise import of Biblical refer- 

 ences to creation, and how these may be harmonized with modern dis- 

 covery. ... In an appendix the volume furnishes several short essays on 

 special points collateral to the general subject, and important to the so- 

 hition of some of its phases. — N. Y. Evangelist. 



Briefly described, the book is a singularly suggestive study of the first 

 chapter of Genesis considered as an inspired revelation in the light of 

 modein science. — Evening Post, X. Y. 



The book will commend itself to both scholars and the common peo- 

 ple ; for, while the latter can understand, the former can enjoy it, — The 

 Chirchman, N. Y, 



Although most scientists and many theologians will doubtless differ 

 with the author's conclusions, yet he has shown so much ingenuity and 

 care in sustaining them, and is so evidently inspired by a regard for what 

 he desires to be the truth, that his book will command the attention of 

 candid inquirers of whatever shade of belief. — Boston Globe. 



Mr. Dawson has devoted much study to the treatment of the subject 

 discussed in this volume. He has sought to get at the truth alone. . . . 

 The writer's style is clear and vigorous, and he has patiently wrought 

 out his theories from a wide and comprehensive range of observation. — 

 Union- Argus, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



The work treats of the mystery of " origins," the beginning of crea- 

 tion, the " desolate void," the various created objects — light, land, plants, 

 animals, and finally man, whose unity of origin and antiquity are made 

 the subject of two chapters. An appendix, containing short essays on 

 special points, is a valuable feature of the book. — Observer, N. Y. 



Whether the reader accepts Dr. Dawson's conclusions or not, he will 

 find the work a wonderfully suggestive study, and singularly fair in its treat- 

 ment of the opinions and theories it antagonizes. — Free Pr€ss,J)ei\'o\i,W\c\\. 



As a summary of creation, the book is lively and fresh. It will be 

 found interesting and profitable to all students of this alluring theme. — 

 Christian Advocate, N. Y. 



At least no student of theology can afford not to possess this most ex- 

 cellent work. — Pittsburg Dispatch.
