  an 
  exceedingly 
  thoughtful

  masterly 
  essay, 
  

   on 
  the 
  extent 
  to 
  which 
  natural 
  law 
  should 
  be 
  accepted 
  as 
  the 
  

   guiding 
  rule 
  of 
  politics.

  the

  is

  "The^Duke 
  of 
  Argyll 
  has 
  released 
  from 
  the 
  hazy 
  pale 
  of 
  

   metaphysics, 
  and 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  broad 
  light 
  of 
  practical 
  philo- 
  

   sophy, 
  questions 
  of 
  vital 
  import,

  Saturday 
  Review. 
  

  

  "The 
  conflict, 
  real 
  or 
  supposed, 
  of 
  theology 
  with 
  science 
  is 
  

   indeed, 
  in 
  all 
  its 
  aspects, 
  an 
  urgent 
  topic 
  demanding 
  a 
  more 
  

   complete 
  treatment 
  than 
  it 
  has 
  yet 
  received 
  in 
  this 
  country 
  

   at 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  the 
  religious 
  philosopher. 
  That 
  question, 
  with 
  

   which 
  the 
  Duke 
  of 
  Argyll 
  deals, 
  is 
  just 
  the 
  point 
  which 
  pious 
  

   and 
  practical 
  minds 
  find 
  the 
  most 
  perplexing. 
  Many 
  persons 
  

   who 
  are 
  too 
  busy 
  or 
  too 
  little 
  metaphysical 
  to 
  be 
  aware 
  of 
  the 
  

   deeper 
  speculative 
  difficulties 
  which 
  beset 
  our 
  conception 
  of 
  

   God 
  and 
  Nature, 
  and 
  their 
  mutual 
  relations, 
  will 
  be 
  glad 
  to 
  

   have 
  the 
  suggestions 
  of 
  a 
  thoughtful 
  mind 
  on 
  such 
  a 
  practical 
  

   point 
  as, 
  e.g., 
  How 
  is 
  the 
  unchangeableness 
  of 
  natural 
  law
