uses, their dangers and tendencies, their connection with 

 other principles in the individual mind and the system of 

 Society are examined and brought out with a profoundness of 

 thought and width of view, which remind us of some of the 

 best pages in the writings of Sir Comewall Lewis. . . . We 

 have said enough, we hope, to recommend this book to all 

 intelligent readers. From many scientific works now-a-days 

 we rise with something of depression and bewilderment on 

 our mind. The Duke of Argyll's book leaves exactly a contrary 

 impression." 



The Chronicle. 



"The Duke of Argyll's 'Reign of Law' is written with 

 admirable clearness. His criticism of Mr. Darwin in the 

 chapter entitled ' Creation by Law ' is a model of perspicacity 

 and neatness.". 



The Illustrated Times. 



" We have experienced the greatest delight in reading the 

 ' Reign of Law.' That part of the work which relates to 

 birds is as interesting as a fairy tale. The style of his Grace 

 (to say nothing here of his thought, of which others have 

 spoken words of admiration certainly not too strong) often 

 runs into poetry ; and it has ever}rwhere that indescribable 

 not-too-much-ness which is always the cacJiet of high-class work."
