﻿OPINIONS 
  OF 
  THE 
  PRESS. 
  

  

  compatible 
  with 
  the 
  religious 
  belief 
  that 
  God 
  hears 
  and 
  answers 
  

   prayer? 
  The 
  Duke 
  of 
  Argyll 
  takes 
  up 
  the 
  mental 
  position 
  

   which 
  alone 
  can 
  promise 
  usefulness 
  in 
  the 
  treatment 
  of 
  such 
  

   a 
  question. 
  He 
  has 
  no 
  reserves 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  science. 
  He 
  

   has 
  no 
  hesitation 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  religion. 
  It 
  is 
  extremely 
  rare 
  

   to 
  find 
  the 
  reconcilement 
  attempted 
  in 
  popular 
  books 
  without 
  

   an 
  inclination 
  to 
  one 
  side 
  or 
  the 
  other. 
  The 
  religious 
  people 
  

   too 
  often 
  write 
  with 
  a 
  secret 
  disbelief 
  in 
  science, 
  which 
  is 
  

   in 
  fact 
  imperfect 
  comprehension, 
  but 
  looks 
  like 
  fear 
  of 
  truth. 
  

   The 
  man 
  of 
  science, 
  in 
  his 
  contempt 
  for 
  popular 
  and 
  pulpit 
  

   theology, 
  often 
  writes 
  with 
  a 
  disregard 
  of 
  those 
  great 
  truths 
  

   which 
  are 
  the 
  indispensable 
  complement 
  of 
  rational 
  thought 
  

   on 
  the 
  system 
  of 
  the 
  universe. 
  In 
  the 
  present 
  writer 
  we 
  miss 
  

   neither 
  of 
  the 
  required 
  faculties." 
  

  

  Examiner. 
  

  

  "A 
  very 
  remarkable 
  volume, 
  which 
  must 
  certainly 
  have 
  

   some 
  good 
  result 
  v 
  in 
  clearing 
  the 
  ground 
  for 
  that 
  advance 
  of 
  

   truth 
  which, 
  it 
  is 
  evident, 
  the 
  Duke 
  of 
  Argyll 
  desires 
  to 
  pro- 
  

   mote 
  even 
  to 
  the 
  prejudice 
  of 
  the 
  venerable 
  forms 
  and 
  coverings 
  

   of 
  truth 
  which 
  are 
  so 
  dear 
  to 
  him."

  Quarterly 
  Review. 
  

  

  "The 
  excellency 
  of 
  the 
  Duke 
  of 
  Argyll's 
  book 
  is 
  that 
  he 
  

   does 
  not 
  present 
  himself 
  as 
  either 
  philosopher 
  or 
  theologian, 
  

   but 
  as 
  familiar 
  enough 
  with 
  the 
  lore 
  of 
  both 
  to 
  enable 
  him
