FRAGMENTS OF SCIENCE. 



Mr. Mozley's book belongs to that class of writing of which 

 Butler may be taken as the type. It is strong, genuine argument 

 about difficult matters, fairly tracing what is difficult, fairly trying 

 to grapple, not with what appears the gist and strong point of a 

 question, but with what really at bottom is the knot of it. It is a 

 book the reasoning of which may not satisfy everyone. . . . But we 

 think it is a book for people who wish to see a great subject handled 

 on a scale which befits it, and with a perception of its real elements. 

 It is a book which will have attractions for those who like to see a 

 powerful mind applying itself, without shrinking or holding back, 

 without trick or reserve or show of any kind, as a wrestler closes 

 body to body with his antagonist, to the strength of an adverse and 

 powerful argument. TIMES, Tuesday, June 5, 1866. 



We should add, that the faults of the work are wholly on the 

 surface and in the arrangement ; that the matter is as solid aud as 

 logical as that of any book within recent memory, and that it abounds 

 in striking passages, of which we have scarcely been able even to 

 give a sample. No future arguer against miracles can afford to pass 

 it over. SATURDAY REVIEW, September 15, 1866.

MIRACLES AND SPECIAL PROVIDENCES. 1 



1867. 



IT is my privilege to enjoy the friendship of a select 

 number of religious men, with whom I converse 

 frankly upon theological subjects, expressing without 

 disguise the notions and opinions I entertain regarding 

 their tenets, and hearing in return these notions and 

 opinions subjected to criticism. I have thus far found 

 them liberal and loving men, patient in hearing, 

 tolerant in reply, who know how to reconcile the duties
