EXTRACTS FEOM NOTICES BT THE PRESS. 



From For7iey''s Philadelphia Press. 

 "Dr. Nichols' essays will be found stimulating reading. No one can 

 take up the book without feeling" the inclination to read further and to 

 ponder on the all-important subjects which they present. Though it is 

 not a religious book in the technical sense of the word, it is a book which 

 calls for the exercise of the i-eligious nature, and it is a book which in 

 diffusing many sensible ideas will oe good," 



From Boston Commonwealth. 

 "The great value of the little book, 'Whence. What, Where?' by 

 Dr. James B. Nichols, is in its suggestiveness. It is eminenjly provoca- 

 tive of thought. Its value is not to be tested by its bulk. It is full of 

 clear thinking, and of accurate statement. Dr. Nichols is severely sci- 

 entfficijr. and, at the same time, devoutly spiritual. Its philosophy is 

 largely that of Swedenborg, without Swedenborg's terrible diffusiveness. 

 We have in it, concisely and clearly stated, all that the strictest sci- 

 entific researcn warrants us in believing of man's origin, nature, and 

 spiritual destiny.- Science is shown to be not necessarily opposed to 

 religion and to spirituality." 



From Boston Christian Register. 

 " The book is written in a clear style, and the author's opinions are 

 readily understood. It is refreshing to have such a work from a scientific 

 layman, on topics which too many treat with a supercilious disdain, 

 unbecoming both themselves and the subject." 



From Boston Congregationalist. 

 " The topics discussed are handled with a good degree of candor, and 

 give in a. small space much interesting information and perhaps some 

 profitable L'peculation." 



From the Lowell Mail. 

 " Its truths may be received as a new revelation from which consolation 

 and happiness may be derived by those who have been troubled with 

 doubts and misgivings."
