The work treats of the mystery of "origins," the beginning of creation, the "desolate void," the various created objects light, land, plants, animals, and finally man, whose unity of origin and antiquity are made the subject of two chapters. An appendix, containing short essays on special points, is a valuable feature of the book.—Observer, N. Y.
Whether the reader accepts Dr. Dawson's conclusions or not, he will find the work a wonderfully suggestive study, and singularly fair in its treatment of the opinions and theories it antagonizes.—Free Press, Detroit, Mich.
As a summary of creation, the book is lively and fresh. It will be found interesting and profitable to all students of this alluring theme.—Christian Advocate, N. Y.
At least no student of theology can afford not to possess this most excellent work.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
