" 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 every one. . . . 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 percep- 

 tion 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." — The 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 and as logical as that 

 of any book within recent memory, and that it abounds in striking pas- 

 sages, of which we have scarcely been able even to give a sample. No 

 future arguer against miracles can afford to pass it over." — Saturday Re- 

 view, September 15, 1866.
