Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. The paper's unusually extensive use of commas remains unchanged.

THE CREATOR,
AND WHAT WE MAY KNOW OF THE
METHOD OF CREATION.

THE FERNLEY LECTURE OF 1887.

BY

W. H. DALLINGER, LL.D., F.R.S.

‘For I have learned

To look on Nature, not as in the hour

Of thoughtless youth.... And I have felt

A presence that disturbs me with the joy

Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime

Of something far more deeply interfused,

Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,

And the round ocean and the living air,

And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;

A motion and a spirit, that impels

All thinking things, all objects of all thought,

And rolls through all things.’

Wordsworth.
