BY JOHN PHIN, C. E., EDITOR OF “THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MICROSCOPY.” _1 Vol., 12mo._ _Cloth._ _75 cents._ -------------- The following are a few of the Opinions of the Press: This is a small book, but full of matter. * * * We think this book is full of interest and value; and as the discussions concerning the harmony of science and faith are rife at the present day, we commend the reasonings of Mr. Phin to the great number of readers and students who are investigating these subjects.—_The Presbyterian_ (Philadelphia). The author gives a new solution of this difficult question, and certainly presents many very plausible arguments in support of his theory.—_Sunday-School Workman._ A very candid and ingenious essay.—_Christian Union_ (H. W. Beecher’s paper).
