n success unprecedented IN Theological Pub
licdtt0nSI
4 N impression has already been produced by this
IA mastery treatise, the most profound, wide
reaching and permanent.
IL is perfectly manifest to all competent observers
that upon the eve of theological discussion,
the most comprehensive, radical and portentous the
world has ever seen. To this discussion this book
leads the way, with momentum irresistible. There
is not question Ia Theology which ia not destined
to como up for new and thorough settlement in the
light of this final development
All those who have Theological doubts and diff
cultcs should examine the solution this work affords
Those who have no doubts but who wish to study
the history Of opinions in the past and to keep pace
with the Developments of opinion in tho future win
gieyously err il they neglect to make themselves fa
milnr with this hook. 1t contains the seeds of the
thinkings and dcbatings of the next hundred yeats
The reception of this work by the The logical
press OF the country has been significant Equally
declining to accept his conclusion they do 1t OPP
postc and contradictory grounds. One half of the
Theological press endorses tho major premise Of the
argument, and denies the minor. The other half en-
dorses the minor, and denies the major And they
probably both right in their positive element and
wrong in their negative, the work has received Vr-
tual Endorsement of tho most powerful kind.

very unsafe book for herssarchs to put into
the hands Of either Unvcrsalst Unitarian of real

he will never be either ancient Socinian a mod
