WESTMINSTER REVIEW.—"The 'Inquiry into the Theories of History,' although anonymous, is a first-rate book. Its object is to reconcile Theism with the scientific conception of law, and from that reconciliation to deduce a true theory of history. The book contains a most able and effectual vindication of Theism, and of a rational, as opposed to irrational, Positivism."
CORNHILL MAGAZINE.—"Written with remarkable ability, and, considering its polemical spirit, with excellent temper. The style is always animated, and at times felicitous. The volume gives ample proof of metaphysical acuteness. One good service it will certainly effect—namely, that of fastening the attention of its readers on the great fundamental problems of historical science."
SPECTATOR.—"The whole book bears the evident mark of maturity of thought. The third chapter is full of thoughtful and able argument, in which the positions, not only of Comte, but often of Mill, are powerfully and successfully assailed."
