| PHYSIOLOGY OF THE SOUL AND INSTINCi
a. di,tinfHiShsd from naeriaismi BY Marty r

Ik.l
Professor Paine, of the University of New
1 I. lg.T,
icne, delivered lecture I'm 1913 before his c.a,s
| uIOn 1.-The Soul and Instructive Principle,
which lecture was published by the class Other
| and enlarged editions were subsequently issgad,
| and it is now printed in bulky volume Of 100
| pages octave. Its appearance is opportunc at
| this time. when the Darwinan theory and the
| doctrine of Naterialism are being maintained
| with so much learning and FEASIBILITY. ProfcS-
| sOr Paine undertakes to afford demOnStrativr
| proof, through physiology and otherwise, o.
the existence of the Soul as an independent, self
| acting, immortal and spiritual essence. He I'M
| deTtakes, in the same connection, to refute the
| development doctrines OF Darwin, Spencer, &c.
| and deals with the question with much the same
| canGor shown by Darwin. Contrary to the CON
| cessions made by some modern theo!ogists, DR.
| Paine maintains stoutly that the scripture mar
ratives of Creation and of the Flood were literal
| ly direct revelations by the Creator, and that
| they were in ended to be received in their Obvi-
! Gus sense. He further contends that there is
| nothing in geology to conflict with the most OBJ
| viOus Interpretation Of the inspired narratives
and lie opposes in toto the revolutionary views
| OF theoretical geology.
TO those who are seeking TO gather light from
| the discussion of these questions, this book o.
| DIR. p aine's is one not to be overlooked.

This volume has a peculiar interest here
| where the heroic subject of the memoir was
known and appreciated. 1t is an affecting til
| butte by father TO a gallant son, but at the

| step the boundary of historic truth. The death
| of Admiral Dahlgren before the publication OF
the memoir, has devOlved that duty upon his
/ widow, and the work has been executed with
| fidelity, taste, and judgment.
