OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



Regarding the list of discoveries " This we admit is a very important 

 array of discoveries, and a small part only, if substantiated, will suffice ta 

 earn for them the highest honours that science has to bestow/' Quarterly 

 Journal of Science, London. 



" Messrs. Fraser & Dewar would seem to be earnest men, and their 

 work is not in places without a certain amount of ingenuity." Astronomi- 

 cal Register, London. 



" The object of this book is to develop what the authors believe to be 

 a most important theory, and one that is by no means unlikely to revolu- 

 tionize modern science." Examiner, London. 



" Messrs. Fraser & Dewar, Mr. Darwin will be happy to learn, are 

 Darwinites, though with a difference." Lancet, London. 



" The authors assert that they have discovered the thread which 

 systematizes all science. Without professing adherence to their theory, 

 we shall say at once that their ideas are both attractive and suggestive." 

 Chemist and Druggist, London. 



" This volume is extremely readable and full of captivating specula- 

 tions, as well as reliable scientific statements. British Colonist, Halifax. 



" The originality ot the work makes it more than usually interesting, 

 and the deductions of the authors are from castings in moulds of thought 

 differing from those of all preceding speculators on Natural Science. 

 We may again revert to the " Origin of Creation," and in the meantime 

 recommend it as being as entertaining and novel a production as we have 

 ever read. The interest throughout is fully maintained, and having once 

 opened its pages it is difficult to lay them aside." Morning Chronicle. 



" I have read your book carefully but feel myself utterly unable to 

 judge of the truth of most of the special matters of physical science therein 

 handled. With regard to your theological views, however, I agree ; ex- 

 cept that I rather incline to talk of God as the indwelling and immoulding 

 Soul of the World, than as a separate Being who stands outside and 

 endows matter with qualities. I believe that the whole cosmos is a Titanic 

 manifestation of self-existent, self-exercising REASON, and that the Reason 

 of God bears the same relation to the cosmos that my soul does to my 

 body. Tyndall and such fellows are merely juggling themselves with 

 plumes." Professor Blackie, University of Edinburgh.
