Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: .by a certain Professor Henry Drummond, called Natural Law in the Spiritual World, which has had an astonishing success over here? The best public, perhaps, does not much care for it; but the second best, all the religious world, and even the more serious portion of the aristocratical world, have accepted the book as a godsend, and are saying to themselves that here at last is safety and scientific shelter for the orthodox supernaturalism which seemed menaced with total defeat. I should like much to know what you think of the book, though I can hardly imagine its suiting any public but that very peculiar and indirect-thinking public which we have in England. What is certain is, that the author of the book has a genuine love of religion and a genuine religious experience; and this gives his book a certain value, though his readers, in general, imagine its value to be quite of another kind.--Arnold, Matthew, 1885, To M. Fontanh, July 18; Letters, ed. Russell, vol. n, p. 327. It is evident that it is simply our old friend, the Shorter Catechism, in a scientific dress. In other words, it is the world of Calvinistic Christianity--of the peculiar system of theology which turns on the ideas of original sin, fall, redemption, regeneration, election and pre-destination.--Laing, S., 1888, Modern Science and Modern Thought, Sixth Ed., p. 348. The genesis of Natural Law in the Spiritual World indicates the secret of its success. It is not a contribution to philosophy; it was not conceived in a philosophic spirit. It is not an attempt to reconcile Science and Religion, and it is not written with a dogmatic purpose to defend the latter from attack by the former. It is a statement of religious truth by a man schooled in scientific method.<
