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

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

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

 admirable clearness. His criticism of Mr. Darwin in the

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