'It cannot be doubted that the "spiritual body" of this book (_The Unseen Universe_) will be used to support a belief that the dead are subject either to the _shame and suffering of a Christian Heaven_ and Hell, or to the degrading service of a modern witch. From _each_ of these _unspeakable profanities_ let us hope and endeavour that the memories of great and worthy men may be finally relieved.' PROFESSOR CLIFFORD. 'I choose the noble part of Emerson, when, after various disenchantments, he exclaimed, "I covet truth." The gladness of true heroism visits the heart of him who is really competent to say this.' PROFESSOR TYNDALL. 'The highest, as it is the only, content is to be attained, not by grovelling in the rank and steaming valleys of sense, but by continually striving towards those high peaks, when, resting in eternal calm, reason discerns the undefined but bright ideal of the highest good--"a cloud by day, a pillar of fire by night."' PROFESSOR HUXLEY. 'If it can be shown by observation and experiment, that theft, murder, and adultery, do not tend to diminish the happiness of society, then, in the absence of any but natural knowledge, they are not social immoralities.' PROFESSOR HUXLEY. 'For my own part, I do not for one moment admit that morality is not strong enough to hold its own.' PROFESSOR HUXLEY. 'I object to the very general use of the terms religion and theology, as if they were synonymous, or _indeed had anything whatever to do with one another_.... Religion is an affair of the affections. It may be that the object of a man's religion--the ideal which he worships--is an ideal of sensual enjoyment.' PROFESSOR HUXLEY. 'In his hour of health ... when the pause of reflection has set in, the scientific investigator finds himself overshadowed with the same awe. It associates him with a power which gives fulness and tone to his existence, but which he can neither analyse nor comprehend.' PROFESSOR TYNDALL. 'He will see what drivellers even men of strenuous intellects may become,' though exclusively dwelling and dealing with theological chimeras. PROFESSOR TYNDALL. 'The two kinds of cosmic emotion run together and become one. The microcosm is viewed only in relation to human action, nature is presented to the emotions as the guide and teacher of humanity. And the microcosm is viewed only as tending to complete correspondence with the external; human conduct is subject for reverence only in so far as it is consonant to the demiurgic law, in harmony with the teaching of divine Nature.' PROFESSOR CLIFFORD. 'The world will have religion of some kind, even though it should fly for it to the intellectual whoredom of "spiritualism."' PROFESSOR TYNDALL.
