CRITERIA OF DIVERSE KINDS OF TRUTH.
As opposed to Agnosticism. Being a Treatise on Applied Logic.
(Philosophic Series No. 1.) Energy, Efficient and Final Cause.
(Philosophic Series No. 2.) By JAMES MCCOSH, D.D. LL.D.,
D.L. Author of “Intuitions of the Mind,” “Laws of Discursive
Thought,” etc. Each 1 vol., paper, 50 cents.
“It is not unlikely to prove true in the end that the most useful
popular service which Dr. McCosh has rendered to the cause of
right thinking and to a sound philosophy of life is his proposed
_Philosophic Series_, the first number of which, _Criteria of
Diverse Kinds of Truth as Opposed to Agnosticism_, we have perused
with great satisfaction.”—_The Independent._
FINAL CAUSES.
By PAUL JANET, Member of the French Academy. Translated from
the Second French Edition. With a Preface by Robert Flint,
D.D., LL.D. 1 vol. 8vo, $2.50.
“No book of greater importance in the realm of theological
philosophy has appeared during the past twenty years than Paul
Janet’s ‘Final Causes.’ The central idea of the work is one which
the whole course of scientific discussion has made the burning
question of the day, viz.: that final causes are not inconsistent
with physical causation.”—_Independent._
THE BEGINNINGS OF HISTORY,
According to the Bible and the Traditions of Oriental Peoples.
From the Creation of Man to the Deluge. By FRANÇOIS LENORMANT,
Professor of Archæology at the National Library of France,
etc., etc. (Translated from the Second French Edition.) With an
introduction by FRANCIS BROWN, Assistant Professor in Biblical
Philology, Union Theological Seminary. 1 vol. 12mo, 750 pp.,
$2.50.
“The work is one that deserves to be studied by all students of
ancient history, and in particular by ministers of the gospel,
whose office requires them to interpret the Scriptures, and who
ought not to be ignorant of the latest and most interesting
contribution of science to the elucidation to the sacred
volume.”—_New York Tribune._
THE RELIGIONS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD,
Including Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, Persia, India,
Phœnicia, Etruria, Greece, Rome. By GEORGE RAWLINSON, M.A.,
author of “The Origin of Nations,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
“The historical studies which have elevated this author’s works
to the highest position have made him familiar with those beliefs
which once directed the world’s thought; and he has done literature
no better service than in this little volume.... The book is, then,
to be accepted as a sketch, and as the most trustworthy sketch
in our language, of the religions discussed.”—_N.Y. Christian
Advocate._
