MODERN ATHEISM.
MODERN ATHEISM, under its Forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism,
Development, and Natural Laws. By JAMES BUCHANAN, D.D., LL. D. 12mo,
cloth, $1.25.
The Author of this work is the successor of Dr. Chalmers in the
Chair of Divinity in the New College, Edinburgh, and the
intellectual leader of the Scottish Free Church.
FROM HUGH MILLER, AUTHOR OF "OLD RED SANDSTONE," &c., &c.,--The

influence and university honors. I cannot but hope that a work so
timely, scholarly, and complete, will do much good.
It is one of the most solid and remarkable books in its department
of literature; one of the most scholarly and profound inductions of
modern Christian literature.--WORCESTER TRANSCRIPT.
Dr. Buchanan has earned a high and well-deserved reputation as a
classical writer and close logical reasoner. He deals heavy, deadly
blows on atheism in all its various forms; and wherever the work is
read it cannot fail to do good.--CHRISTIAN SECRETARY.
It is a work which places its author at once in the highest rank of
modern religious authors. His analyses of the doctrines held by the
various schools of modern atheism are admirable, and his criticism
original and profound; while his arguments in defence of the
