THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD.
The Origin of the World, according to Revelation and Science. ByJ. 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.
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.
