The following are a few of the Opinions of the Press:
This is a small book, but full of matter. * * * We think this book is full of interest and value; and as the discussions concerning the harmony of science and faith are rife at the present day, we commend the reasonings of Mr. Phin to the great number of readers and students who are investigating these subjects.—The Presbyterian (Philadelphia).
The author gives a new solution of this difficult question, and certainly presents many very plausible arguments in support of his theory.—Sunday-School Workman.
A very candid and ingenious essay.—Christian Union (H. W. Beecher’s paper).
No one can read this book without compensation, without becoming more thoughtful concerning the phenomena of creation; and he need lose none of his reverence for the supremacy of the Divine Law.—Rural New Yorker.
We could say much in commendation of Prof. Phin’s little book. An intelligent reader can hardly fail to be interested in it, and many might be benefited.—Country Gentleman.
The book can not fail to interest even those who do not fully accept the theory it advocates.—Boston Journal of Chemistry.
It is a new scientific view of the matter.—Phrenological Journal.
The book, although not large, will prove exceedingly interesting to all who have ever directed attention to this matter, and contains more solid and suggestive thought than many voluminous treatises on the subject.—Insurance Monitor.
