 a design by Sir Noel Paton, Crown 8vo. %s, 6d. 



^^ George IVilson,^^ says the Preface to this volume^ ^'hadit in his heart 



for 7nany years to tvrite a book corresponding to the Religio Medici 

 of Sir Thomas Brozune^ with the title Religio Chemici. Several 

 of the Essays in this voUtnie zvere intended to form chapters of it. 

 These fragments being in most cases like finished gems zuaiting to be 

 set^ some of them are now given in a collected form to his friends

 chosen by himself has been adopted, although the original design 

 can be but very faintly 7'epresented,'^'^ The Contents of the volu?Jie 



are:—'' Chemistry and Natural Theology,'''' 



a 



The Chemistry of 



the Stars ; an Argu^nent touching the Stars and their Inhabitants,^^ 

 '' Chemical Final Causes; as illustrated by the presence of Phos-

 "A more fascinating volume,^^ the Spectator says, "has seldom 

 fallen into our hands,'^^ The Freeman says: "These papers are all 

 valuable and deeply interesting. The production of a p7'ofound 

 thinker, a suggestive and eloquent writer, and a man whose piety 

 and genius went hand in hand,''''
