Synopsis

Excerpt from Ideas in Nature Overlooked by Dr. Tyndall: Being an Examination of Dr. Tyndall's Belfast Address As I was about to sail from Great Britain last autumn, on my return to America, I procured a copy of Dr. Tyndall's Belfast Address, I read it on the deck of the vessel; allowed the yeast to ferment in my mind during the voyage; and, on coming home to Princeton College, I delivered my thoughts (not written out) in an Introductory Lecture to the Class of the History of Philosophy. Abstracts of the Lecture were forwarded by my auditors to a few literary journals, and were thence copied into others; and I thought it advisable to write out fully what I had uttered, and to send it, as I was requested, to a periodical, so deserving of encouragement, the "International Review," where it appeared in the opening number of Vol. II. I find Dr. Tyndall is sending forth edition after edition of his work in England and in America; and some are anxious, I know, to have by them, for their own use or for circulation, a calm reply, free from all personalities. So I have consented to this paper appearing, with some additions, in a separate form. Dr. Tyndall's Address is now printed with two Prefaces, in which he professes to reply to his critics. The original Address is clear and plausible; but the Prefaces seem to me to be exceedingly weak, loose, and unsatisfactory.
