'We may readily admit that Professor Haeckel has stated his case with
the clearness and courage which we should expect of him, and that
his lecture may be regarded as a fair and authoritative statement
of the views now held by a large number of scientifically educated
people.'--_Times._
'The Monism, which is the substance of his faith, is thus defined by
him: "Our conviction that there lives one spirit in all things, and
that the whole cognizable world is constituted, and has been developed,
in accordance with one common fundamental law." As the confession
of a distinguished man of science, this little work deserves to be
read.'--_North British Daily Mail._
'This "Confession of Faith" was delivered by the great German
scientist, its author, as an extemporaneous address at Altenburg
rather more than two years ago. There are, no doubt, a large number of
English readers who will welcome a translation, for this "connecting of
religion and science" has long troubled many earnest students of modern
science.'--_Publisher's Circular._
'This is a little book of great daring, an example of the wild
speculative flights of one of the very ablest and greatest of our
contemporary men of science.'--_Aberdeen Free Press._
'The address, whatever we may think of its conclusions, is, however,
most interesting reading, and is admirably done into English by the
translator.'--_Literary World._
