TUCKER'S LIGHT OF NATURE.

In two very large volumes Bvo., price 245. in boards,
PUCKER'S LIGUT of NATURE
PURSUED. With some Account of the Life of
the Author.

By Sir H. P. MILDMAY, Bart, M.P.
Dr. Paley, in speaking of this valuable work, says—
" It would he ungrateful not to confess the obligation I
am under for the writings of Tucker under the title of
' The Light of Nature Pursued.' There is more original
thinking on the several subjects that he has taken in hand
than in any other, not to say in all others put together;
his talent is unrivalled."
