Author Description

Excerpt from Review of Darwin on the Origin of Species: First Published in the Christian Examiner We said in the beginning of this article, that the reason of the deep interest which this book had awakened, both in Eng land and in this country, was, that it adopts, or at least suggests, views on the modes of action of the Creator, and on the ways of Providence, that are repugnant to the most cherished feelings and hopes of man. We have also promised to prove that we have rather understated than exaggerated the opinions of the author. We proceed to justify the assertion, and to redeem the pledge.
