history of modern science. No previous writer has treated the subject from this point of view, and the present monograph will be found to possess no less originality of conception than vigor of reasoning and wealth of erudition."--_New York Tribune_. A CRITICAL HISTORY OF FREE THOUGHT IN REFERENCE TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. By Rev. Canon ADAM STOREY FARRAR, D.D., F.R.S., etc. 12mo. Cloth, $2.00. "A conflict might naturally be anticipated between the reasoning faculties of man and a religion which claims the right, on superhuman authority, to impose limits on the field or manner of their exercise. It is the chief of the movements of free thought which it is my purpose to describe, in their historic succession, and their connection with intellectual causes. We must ascertain the facts, discover the causes, and read the moral."--_The Author_. CREATION OR EVOLUTION? A Philosophical Inquiry. By GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS, 12mo. Cloth, $2.00. "A treatise on the great question of Creation or Evolution by one who is neither a naturalist nor theologian, and who does not profess to bring to the discussion a special equipment in either of the sciences which the controversy arrays against each other, may seem strange at first sight; but Mr. Curtis will satisfy the reader, before many pages have been turned, that he has a substantial contribution to make to the debate, and that his book is one to be treated with respect. His part is to apply to the reasonings of the men of science the rigid scrutiny with which the lawyer is accustomed to test the value and pertinency of testimony, and the legitimacy of inferences from established facts."--_New York Tribune_. "Mr. Curtis's book is honorably distinguished from a sadly too great proportion of treatises which profess to discuss the relation of scientific theories to religion, by its author's thorough acquaintance with his subject, his scrupulous fairness, and remarkable freedom from passion."--_London Literary World_. D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue, New York. * * * * * THE WARFARE OF SCIENCE WITH THEOLOGY. A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom. By ANDREW D. WHITE, LL.D., late President and Professor of History at Cornell Unive
