A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Vi PREFACE. ral, shall interblend without confusion or mistake. It is from this last point of view that this book has been written. It is neither a book of Science nor ofT heology, but it aims to present the latest results of Science touching the origin and antiquity of Man, and his place in this mundane system, side by side with the account of his creation and functions in the book of Genesis, as interpreted by the critical tests of modem philology; and to suggest certain principles of adjustment between the record of Nature and the record of theB ible, without violence to the spirit of either. The matter of the volume was originally given in a series of Sundayevening lectures, largely extemporaneous in form, and purposely popular, almost colloquial, in style. At the instance of the publisher, these have been prepared for the press from the reports of a competent and careful phonographer. No attempt has been made to elaborate them for scientific readers, though a few notes of reference to authorities and of ancillary topics have been added. The fourth lecture, on Man sD ominion over Nature, is somewhat more labored than the rest, having been delivered substantially to the Phi Beta Kappa Society inH arvard College, in 1865. The then recent death of Mr. Edward Everett naturally suggested the ti-ibute to his memory as a typical Man. If this little book shall do anything to diflfuse sound views of the interpretation of theB ible in its allusions to the phenomena of Nature, and to strengthen the conviction that inN ature and theB ible alike one living and eternal God is declared tlie creator and lord of all, and Man His image as a spiritual power above Nature, the author will be fblly recompensed for the risk of entering the lists as a disputant in an. untried field. Having in view always the popular reader, the author has cited foreign authorities fromE nglish
