  uses, 
  their 
  dangers 
  and 
  tendencies, 
  their 
  connection 
  with 
  

   other 
  principles 
  in 
  the 
  individual 
  mind 
  and 
  the 
  system 
  of 
  

   Society 
  are 
  examined 
  and 
  brought 
  out 
  with 
  a 
  profoundness 
  of 
  

   thought 
  and 
  width 
  of 
  view, 
  which 
  remind 
  us 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   best 
  pages 
  in 
  the 
  writings 
  of 
  Sir 
  Cornewall 
  Lewis.

  We 
  

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

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

   we 
  rise 
  with 
  something 
  of 
  depression 
  and 
  bewilderment 
  on 
  

   our 
  mind. 
  The 
  Duke 
  of 
  Argyll's 
  book 
  leaves 
  exactly 
  a 
  contrary 
  

   impression." 
  

  

  The 
  Chronicle. 
  

  

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

   admirable 
  clearness. 
  His 
  criticism 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Darwin 
  in 
  the 
  

   chapter 
  entitled 
  ' 
  Creation 
  by 
  Law 
  ' 
  is 
  a 
  model 
  of 
  perspicacity 
  

   and 
  neatness."

  Illustrated 
  Times. 
  

  

  "We 
  have 
  experienced 
  the 
  greatest 
  delight 
  in 
  reading 
  the 
  

   * 
  Reign 
  of 
  Law.' 
  That 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  which 
  relates 
  to 
  

   birds 
  is 
  as 
  interesting 
  as 
  a 
  fairy 
  tale. 
  The 
  style 
  of 
  his 
  Grace 
  

   (to 
  say 
  nothing 
  here 
  of 
  his 
  thought, 
  of 
  which 
  others 
  have 
  

   spoken 
  words 
  of 
  admiration 
  certainly 
  not 
  too 
  strong) 
  often 
  

   runs 
  into 
  poetry; 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  everywhere 
  that 
  indescribable 
  

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