“This little book is an extension of an article which appeared in the ‘Contemporary review’ of May, 1905. It deals with the scientific and teleological aspects of the interpretation of nature, the aim of the book being, in the author’s words, to show that a belief in purpose as the casual reality of which nature is an expression is not inconsistent with a full and whole-hearted acceptance of the explanations of naturalism within their appropriate sphere.” (Int. J. Ethics.)
“The book is enriched with extremely well selected examples, which serve to make clear and precise the author’s meaning and to make the book intelligible and interesting to the general reader.” C. T. Preece.

Morgan, George. True Patrick Henry. **$2. Lippincott.
7–27032.
An intimately analytical biography of Patrick Henry thruout which the white light is turned upon him. He lives again in the atmosphere of the revolution, becomes the center of situations and scenes which he dominated, is lawyer, orator, soldier, statesman and executive, and is seen surrounded by his contemporaries and friends. The historical value of the study is apparent, while it is as fascinating as any romance.
