RELATIONS OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

Uniform with this Volume.

=I. NATURE AND THE BIBLE.=

A Course of Lectures on the Morse Foundation of the Union Theological Seminary, by J. W. DAWSON, LL.D. 12mo. $1.75.

"Professor Dawson discusses his topic from the various
standpoints of a student of nature, not from the single
standpoint which has mostly been occupied by theologians The
book is not a _partisan_ publication. It will be found by those
opposed to be perfectly candid and fair, admitting difficulties
in their full force, and not seeking to evade, misinterpret, or
exaggerate any fact or argument"--_Interior_.

=II. CHRISTIANITY AND POSITIVISM.=

A Series of Lectures to the Times on Natural Theology and Apologetics. By JAMES MCCOSH, D.D., LL.D., President of Princeton College. 12mo. $1.75.

"This book grapples directly with the vital questions. Every
reader must admire its fairness It is all the better adapted to
popular reading from having been written to be delivered to an
audience. Indeed, the thinking is generally so clear, and the
style so animated and luminous, that any person of average
intelligence and culture may understand and enjoy the discussion
and no such person who has begun to read the work will be likely
to rest satisfied till he has finished it. It is in some parts
eloquent and beautiful, and is throughout forcible and effective
for its end. Would that thousands of the young people of our
country, and of all classes whose faith may be in peril, might
read it with the attention it deserves" _Independent_.

=III. CHRISTIANITY AND SCIENCE.=

A Series of Lectures. By Rev. A. P. PEABODY, D.D., of Harvard College. $1.75.

"One of the best books we have read in a long time,--a manly,
candid, noble, reasonable defence of the Christian faith. We do
not see how any thoughtful person can read it in vain. Dr
Peabody plants himself fairly on the very postulates of
scientific men, and proceeds to show how all that they claim for
true science is fulfilled in the religion of
Jesus"--_Illustrated Christian Weekly_.

_EXTRACT FROM THE DEED OF TRUST, ESTABLISHING THE MORSE LECTURESHIP._

"The general subject of the Lectures, I desire to be:

"The relation of the Bible to any of the Sciences, as Geography, Geology, History, and Ethnology, the vindication of the inspiration and authenticity of the Bible, against attacks made on scientific grounds, and the relation of the facts and truths contained in the Word of God, to the principles, methods and aims of any of the Sciences.

"Upon one or more of these topics a course of ten public Lectures shall be given at least once in two or three years, by a Lecturer, ordinarily to be chosen two years in advance of the time for delivering of the Lectures.

"The appointment of the Lecturer shall be by the concurrent action of the Founder of the Lectureship, during his life, the Board of Directors, and the faculty of said Seminary.

"The funds shall be securely invested, and the interest of the same shall be devoted to the payment of the Lecturer, and to the publication of the Lectures within a year after the delivery of the same.

"The copyright of the Lectures shall be vested in the Seminary."
