al wish, and made public the volume. It will now be widely circulated, will certainly prove a standard work, and be read over and over again."--BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER. 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.
