To all good Christians and seekers a.
Ter truth. As well Ashonsst sksptics who
are willing to listen TO and study the
evidences Of the divine truthfulness oil
ths Scriptures and form their con-
illusions thsrsfrom. this work especially
oommsnds itsslf. The argument Is well
written and sustained throughout. and
the points Of illustration most admirably
presented. giving a vast amount Of In.
formation upon the subject treated.
The Bible. though not given TO teach
physical science, il yet closely connected
with il In all Its branches. Its revela.
tons. narratives. predictions and lessons
traverse every province Of Nature. and
arc more or less interviewer with nearly
all its facts and phenomena. This sacred
book. therefore. is open and exposed 10
scientific tests and criticisms on every
side and Of every character. The dc.
velopmsnts Of geology have been arrayed
against the Mosaic account Of the Crea-
ton. The facts Of natural history have
been marshaled to overthrow the doctrine
Of mans creation In the image Of God.
Anatomy and physiology have been en-
ployed to destroy belief in the unity Of
the human rice, and to establish for its
different branches 70 many distinct
origins; and even tho laws Of nature have
been tortured TO give evidence against
the providence Of God in the world.
The present work has been written with
the object. not To deny or ignore the
sound deductions Of science. for the
author accepts them, but to combat er.
rors by tho light Of established facts
and unc~ontroverted truth. The works
OF all the leading skeptical writers. liv-
ing and dead. aud among them those OF
voltaire. Darwin. Tyndall, Payne. etc..
and other scientists, such as Agassiz.
Culver. Muller. Huxley, Spencer, stc.,
have been largely quoted from where.
ever their theories are in conflict with
religion; and their arguments arc COM
bated and rcfutsd and proofs adduccd
from works Of other eminent modern
scientists. This work is one Of unusual
literary merit. full Of interest from be-
ginning to end. and is handsomely
bound. It is beautifully illustrated by
well.eIecutsd steel ongravings. wood
cuts. maps, ETC., and contains 200 pages.

This il the last Of Hubert II. Dan
croft's well written. highly interesting,
popular and very valuable series. and
although tho subjects embraced may be
considered somewhat drisr and less at
t~ractivs than those included in tho pre-
csding volumes, yet the series would not
be complete by any means without this
volume, in which tho author treats Of
the origin Of tho American Indians, and
Of the history Of the chichimecs. Aztscs,
Toltecs. Miztecs. anil other ancient races
OF what is now Mexico. down to
tho timo Of the Spanish Conquest. The
author has done his work carefully AMI
comprshensively. and much OF the in
formation contained in this volume Is,
in reality. o! moro value than il to he
found in the othor volumes OF the series.
As q whole, tho entire work Is n OF
extraordinary interest, and no library Is
complete without Bancroft's Native
Races.
