he thoughts perspicuous. I think it calculated to do
good, to promote the truth, to diffuse light and impart instruction to
the community, in a department of study of the deepest interest to
mankind."
_From _REV. JAMES WALKER, D.D._, President of Harvard University._
"Having carefully examined the more critical parts, to which my
attention has been especially directed, I am free to express my
conviction of the great clearness, discrimination, and accuracy of the
work, and of its admirable adaptation to its object."
_From _REV. RAY PALMER, D.D._, of Albany._
"I have examined this work with great pleasure, and do not hesitate to
say that in my judgment it is greatly superior to any treatise I have
seen, in all the essential requisites of a good text-book."
_From _PROF. ROUSSEAU D. HITCHCOCK, D.D._, of Union Theol. Sem., N.Y._
"The task of mediating between science and the popular mind, is one
that requires a peculiar gift of perspicuity, both in thought and
style; and this, I think, the author possesses in an eminent degree. I
am pleased with its comprehensiveness, its plainness, and its fidelity
to the Christian stand-point."
_From _PROF. HENRY B. SMITH, D.D._, of the Union Theol. Sem., N.Y._
"It commends itself by its clear arrangement of the topics, its
perspicuity of language, and its constant practical bearings. I am
particularly pleased with its views of conscience. Its frequent and
pertinent illustrations, and the Scriptural character of its
explanations of the particular duties, will make the work both
attractive and valuable as a text-book, in imparting instruction upon
this vital part of philosophy."
_From _W. D. WILSON, D.D._, Professor of Intellectual and Moral
Philosophy in Hobart Free College._

doctrine, but clear and systematic in method, and withal pervaded with
a prevailing healthy tone of sentiment, which cannot fail to leave
behind, in addition to the truths it inculcates, an impression in favor
of those truths. I esteem this one of the greatest merits of the book.
