viii GEOEGE JOHN EOMANES 



a changed attitude, of the recovery of a lost Faith, of 

 the discovery that ' Gradual Evolution is in analogy 

 with God's other work,' 1 should have provoked some 

 hostile criticism. 



I think, however, that anyone who reads the story 

 of my husband's life as it is contained in this book, in 

 his Poems, and in the ' Thoughts on Eeligion ' will, if 

 he reads with an unprejudiced mind, see that the 

 search for Truth was lifelong, however much or 

 however little he may agree with the conclusions at 

 which my husband finally arrived. 



I have to thank Mr. Leonard Huxley for kindly 

 sending me letters written to his distinguished father, 

 and which were fortunately in time to be inserted in 

 the Third Edition. 



I must also thank Mr. Burdon Sanderson for a 

 very interesting letter, which Messrs. Longmans have 

 kindly allowed me to publish in this edition.
