Collected Essays, Volume V: Science and Christian Tradition: Essays
Huxley, Thomas Henry
Agnosticism; Miracles; Religion and science
"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_.

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 University.
In two volumes. 8vo. Cloth, $5.00.
"The story of the struggle of searchers after truth with the
organized forces of ignorance, bigotry, and superstition is
the most inspiring chapter in the whole history of mankind.
That story has never been better told than by the
ex-President of Cornell University in these two volumes....
A wonderful story it is that he tells."--_London Daily
Chronicle_.
"A literary event of prime importance is the appearance of
'A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in
Christendom.'"--_Philadelphia Press_.
"Such an honest and thorough treatment of the subject in all
its bearings that it will carry weight and be accepted as an
authority in tracing the process by which the scientific
method has come to be supreme in modern thought and
life."--_Boston Herald_.
"A great work of a great man upon great subjects, and will
always be a religio-scientific classic."--_Chicago Evening
Post_.
"It is graphic, lucid, even-tempered--never bitter nor
vindictive. No student of human progress should fail to read
these volumes. While they have about them the fascination of
a well-told tale, they are also crowded with the facts of
history that have had a tremendous bearing upon the
development of the race."--_Brooklyn Eagle_.
