“He employs the resources of both logic and scientific discovery in a convincing and common-sense way, and ought not to offend the feelings of the most orthodox who is willing to argue honestly.”—_Review of Reviews, New York and London._ ... “In my judgment it surpasses anything that has ever been written on the subject.... Every thinking man and woman on earth should be sure to read the book, as they will learn something that will live in their minds as long as memory lasts.”—_T. J. Edwards, M. D., Oblong, Ill._ “I consider it one of the greatest masterpieces along its line ever written. With one blow the author knocks out the First Cause theory for the material universe, and, with the clearest and most logical reasoning, he causes the veil of orthodox superstition to rend from top to bottom.”—_P. M. Harmon, late Pastor of the People’s Church, at Spring Valley, Minn._ “It deserves a place among the strong books of the age ... evolves a world which bristles with life and thought.... To me as entertaining as a story.”—_Moses Folsom, St. Paul, Minn._ “The links of its logic are riveted very firmly together, and ‘No Beginning’ is simply unanswerable.... The book is a rare gem of precious thought and will do great good in the world.”—_Dr. W. H. Gibbon, Chariton, Iowa._ “While the author’s smooth, argumentative style, logical methods and cogent reasonings, exhibit the keen conception and consummate skill of a well-trained legal mind, the kindly spirit of toleration of views, adverse to the thought presented, reveals the generous-hearted, noble-souled manhood with which the author is inspired.”—_Chariton (Iowa) Herald._ STRIKINGLY BOLD AND ORIGINAL. “The book is a strikingly bold and original argument, ... is compact, systematically built up and controversially formidable.... It [the last chapter] amounts to a very drastic, indeed, destructive criticism of Herbert Spencer’s argument for an ‘Unknowable Absolute.’”—_Chicago Chronicle._ A WELCOME BURST OF SUNSHINE. “A second and more careful reading of ‘No Beginning’ confirms the favorable opinion formed from the first reading. The clearness, thoroughness, lucidity of style, reasonableness and profound wisdom of this invaluable volume hold the attention, convince the judgment and command the most unqualified admiration. I know of no man, however extensive his research or well disciplined his reason, who would not receive benefit by a careful examination of this work, while to the average thinker it must prove like a welcome burst of sunshine through a rift in obscuring clouds. A friend of mine who had just finished reading the book, emphatically remarked to me: ‘I would rather be the author of that book than to be president of the United States,’ and to my mind, the sentiment did credit to his judgment and character.”—_George W. Morehouse, author of “The Wilderness of Worlds.”_ End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of From Monkey to Man, or, Society in the Tertiary Age, by Austin Bierbower
