Late Dean of Westminster. Three lectures delivered in Edinburgh, in November, 1882. By George Granville Bradley, D.D., Dean of Westminster, Honorary Fellow of University College, Oxford. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
These recollections, written down by his successor and life-long friend, and covering the whole course of Stanley’s life, make up so fine and sympathetic a picture of the man, that even if a more ambitious biography appears later, these reminiscences will be preferred to it by many. The accounts of Stanley’s life at Rugby and Oxford, and of his early manhood, have a special attraction. The whole memoir, while by no means effusive, communicates to the reader much of the feeling with which Dean Beadley writes of an intimate friendship “of more than forty years.”
Final Causes.
By Paul Janet, Member of the French Academy. Translated from the Second French Edition. With Preface, by Prof. Robert Flint, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol., 8vo, $2.50.
“No book of greater importance in the realm of theological philosophy has appeared during the past twenty years than Paul Janet’s ‘Final Causes.’ The central idea of the work is one which the whole course of scientific discussion has made the burning question of the day, viz., that final causes are not inconsistent with physical causation. Janet does not contend against evolution in Nature; but only against the atheistic interpretation of evolution, which denies the presence in it or operation behind it of intelligent and definitive finality.”—The Independent.
