Mr. Fiske has given us in his " Destiny of Man " a most attracv 

 fve condensation of his views as expressed in his various othe* 

 works. One is charmed by the directness and clearness of his style, 

 his simple and pure English, and his evident knowledge of his sub- 

 ject. ... Of one thing we may be sure, that none are leading us 

 more surely or rapidly to the full truth than men like the author 

 of this little book, who reverently study the works of God for the 

 lessons which he would teach his children. Christian Union (New 

 York). 



Professor Fiske is always interesting. His exposition, step by 

 step, of the doctrine of evolution, is admirably adapted for those 

 prejudiced against it to read simple, pleasant, and clear, and ex- 

 pressly designed to disarm hostility by showing that it is by no 

 means absolutely incompatible with accepted religious beliefs at 

 least, with their essential qualities. Overland Monthly (San Fran- 

 cisco). 



It is a remarkable contribution to the literature of religious 

 thought. ... It will prove that evolution is at least not irreverent. 

 ... It is packed full of learning and suggestion, in a style at once 

 simple and beautiful, and is worth a dozen volumes of ordinary 

 sermons. Philadelphia Press. 



This essay will and should attract wide attention, founded as it is 

 upon modern science and marking the way in an advanced path in 

 religio-scientific inquiry. Mr. Fiske is acknowledged one of the 

 first of scientific thinkers, and his conclusions have more than the 

 usual weight. Albany Journal. 



His little volume will be highly prized by those who enjoy seeing 

 one of the most profound themes which can occupy the attention 

 treated with eloquence and strength, with scientific insight and im- 

 aginative vigor. Buffalo Commercial Advertiser. 



The reverent spirit of the book> the wide range of illustrations, 

 the remarkable lucidity of thought and style, and the noble elo- 

 quence that characterizes it, render this book one of striking value 

 and interest. Salem Gazette. 



THE IDEA OF GOD AS AFFECTED BY MODERN 

 KNOWLEDGE. 16mo, $1.00. 



This essay is a sequel to " The Destiny of Man." Its object is to 

 show that the indications of Science and Philosophy are theistic, 

 not atheistic ; that while the idea of God has been greatly modified 

 by modern knowledge, it has not been lost or belittled, but magni- 

 fied and illuminated. The essay is prefaced by a long Introduction 

 of remarkable interest, and the whole book is full of significance 

 and charm for all thoughtful minds.
