The Neu: Truth and the Old Faith. By a Scientific
Layman. (C. Kegan Paul and Co.)—It may be doubted whether this book will please the more vehement advocates of the two causes which are compared, rather than contrasted, in its pages. The author holder the belief in a Creator, and sees nothing in the discoveries of science which may not be harmonised with this conception, regarded as working not by isolated acts of creation, but by processes of develop- ment. He discusses his subject with thorough candour and much ability, and in a way that should be helpful to students who can neither shut their intelligence to what science is saying to them, nor banish from their hearts the belief in which they were reared. Among the very many volumes which have sought to do something towards reconciling science and faith, this should hold no insignificant place.
