THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD.
The Origin of the World, according to Revelation and Science. By J. W. Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S. 12mo, Cloth, $2 00.
The revised work is a cyclopædia that will be welcome to all who desire a reconciliation of science and religion, in which the Scriptures retain their authority. The appendices contain valuable scientific criticism, and the treatise meets the controversy as it is to-day.—North American, Philadelphia, Pa.
To all reverent students of the Bible this work will prove a valuable boon in enabling them to determine the precise import of Biblical references to creation, and how these may be harmonized with modern discovery.... In an appendix the volume furnishes several short essays on special points collateral to the general subject, and important to the solution of some of its phases.—N. Y. Evangelist.
Briefly described, the book is a singularly suggestive study of the first chapter of Genesis considered as an inspired revelation in the light of modern science.—Evening Post, N. Y.
The book will commend itself to both scholars and the common people; for, while the latter can understand, the former can enjoy it.—The Churchman, N. Y.
Although most scientists and many theologians will doubtless differ with the author's conclusions, yet he has shown so much ingenuity and care in sustaining them, and is so evidently inspired by a regard for what he desires to be the truth, that his book will command the attention of candid inquirers of whatever shade of belief.—Boston Globe.
Mr. Dawson has devoted much study to the treatment of the subject discussed in this volume. He has sought to get at the truth alone.... The writer's style is clear and vigorous, and he has patiently wrought out his theories from a wide and comprehensive range of observation.—Union-Argus, Brooklyn, N. Y.
