n Faith are powerful and convincing. It is an attractive as
well as a solid book; and he who peruses a few of its pages is, as
it were, irresistibly drawn on to a thorough reading of the
book.--BOSTON PORTFOLIO.
The style is very felicitous, and the reasoning clear and cogent.
The opposing theories are fairly stated and combated with
remarkable case and skill. Even when the argument falls within the
range of science, it is so happily stated that no intelligent
reader can fail to understand it. Such a profound, dispassionate
work is particularly called for at the present time.--BOSTON
JOURNAL.
It is justly described as "a great argument," "magnificent in its

variant theories of atheism. It reviews the doctrines of the
different schools of modern Atheism, gives a fair statement of

and emptiness. His refutation is a clear stream of light from

having special claims on theological students.--UNIVERSALIST
QUARTERLY.
It is remarkable for the clearness with which it apprehends and the
fairness with which it states, not less than for the ability with
which it replies to, the schemes of unbelief in its various modern
forms. It will be found easy to read--though not light reading--and
very quickening to thought, while it clears away, one by one, the
mists which the Devil has conjured around the great doctrines of
our Faith, by the help of some of his inge
