“We cannot do better than recommend all friends of independent thought, and, to use Milton’s phrase, ‘unlicensed printing,’ to repay the author’s energy by writing to him for the volume, which they will find intelligent and fearless in an eminent degree, while it evinces a by no means common acquaintance with the science of comparative religion. The basis of Dr. Hardwicke’s theory and arguments about the popular faith is the zodiacal origin of religious myths, and there is no doubt he is in agreement with the greatest authorities so far as the broad lines go.”—_Westminster Review._ “Dr. Hardwicke treats the extensive and difficult subject of the evolution of Christianity from preëxisting religions with great boldness and candour from the purely theistic and anti-dogmatic standpoint.”—_The Scotsman._ “It is an exceptionally valuable book to Freethinkers.... The work affords evidence of scholarly attainment and well-directed research, and should occupy a place in the library of every intelligent anti-Christian.”—_Secular Review._ “The result of this bold measure is more than creditable ... consists of a careful examination of the Biblical records, full of suggestion.”—_The Freethinker._ “In a manner at once searching and succinct it proves the Bible to be little else than an effete old almanack, conceived in the earliest dawn of thought, when man glowered tremblingly at the spectra in his own brain, naming them heaven or hell, god or devil, as they produced pleasure or pain.”—_The Agnostic_, Dallas. “A scholarly examination of the various legends that make up what is called the Christian religion.... A very valuable contribution to the historico-scientific freethought literature of the period.”—_Lucifer, the Light-bearer_, Kansas. “A better book than this we have scarcely noticed in our columns. It is the result of laborious researches and a deep erudition on the part of the author.”—_The Anti-Christian_, Calcutta.

The subject is well dealt with, and contains a large amount of very valuable information.”—_Family Doctor._ “Contains a large amount of very valuable information and advice. Dr. Hardwicke has treated his subject not only ably, but in a manner which must interest all who peruse his pamphlet.”—_Rotherham and Masbrough Advertiser._ “Just the kind of work to place in the hands of vocalists, or would-be vocalists.”—_Sussex County Herald._ “A perusal of the doctor’s remarks, with reasonable attention thereto, would result in a vast increase of really good voices.”—_Eastbourne Gazette._ (Remainders only from the Author.) _8vo., price 1/-_ SKIN ERUPTIONS; THEIR CAUSES AND PREVENTION.
