EVOLUTION OF MAN AND CHRISTIANITY.
New edition. By the Rev. HOWARD MACQUEARY.
With a new Preface, in which the Author answers his Critics,
and with some important Additions. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"This is a revised and enlarged edition of a book published
last year. The author reviews criticisms upon the first
edition, denies that he rejects the doctrine of the
incarnation, admits his doubts of the physical resurrection
of Christ, and his belief in evolution. The volume is to be
marked as one of the most profound expressions of the modern
movement toward broader theological positions."--_Brooklyn
Times_.
"He does not write with the animus of the destructive
school; he intends to be, and honestly believes he is, doing
a work of construction, or at least of reconstruction.... He
writes with manifest earnestness and conviction, and in a
style which is always clear and energetic."--_Churchman_.
HISTORY OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE.
By Dr. JOHN WILLIAM DRAPER.
12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"The key-note to this volume is found in the antagonism
between the progressive tendencies of the human mind and the
pretensions of ecclesiastical authority, as developed in the
history of modern science. No previous writer has treated
the subject from this point of view, and the present
monograph will be found to possess no less originality of
conception than vigor of reasoning and wealth of
erudition."--_New York Tribune_.
A CRITICAL HISTORY OF FREE THOUGHT IN REFERENCE TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
By Rev. Canon ADAM STOREY FARRAR, D.D., F.R.S., etc.
12mo. Cloth, $2.00.
"A conflict might naturally be anticipated between the
reasoning faculties of man and a religion which claims the
right, on superhuman authority, to impose limits on the
field or manner of their exercise. It is the chief of the
movements of free thought which it is my purpose to
describe, in their historic succession, and their connection
with intellectual causes. We must ascertain the facts,
discover the causes, and read the moral."--_The Author_.
CREATION OR EVOLUTION? A Philosophical Inquiry.
By GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS,
12mo. Cloth, $2.00.
"A treatise on the great question of Creation or Evolution
by one who is neither a naturalist nor theologian, and who
does not profess to bring to the discussion a special
equipment in either of the sciences which the controversy
arrays against each other, may seem strange at first sight;
but Mr. Curtis will satisfy the reader, before many pages
have been turned, that he has a substantial contribution to
make to the debate, and that his book is one to be treated
with respect. His part is to apply to the reasonings of the
men of science the rigid scrutiny with which the lawyer is
accustomed to test the value and pertinency of testimony,
and the legitimacy of inferences from established
facts."--_New York Tribune_.
"Mr. Curtis's book is honorably distinguished from a sadly
too great proportion of treatises which profess to discuss
the relation of scientific theories to religion, by its
author's thorough acquaintance with his subject, his
scrupulous fairness, and remarkable freedom from
passion."--_London Literary World_.
