About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Lectures on Man: His Place in Creation, and in the History of the Earth

While, however, I hold both myself and the society entirely free from any responsibility as to the author's asserted facts or deductions, I should not be doing my duty as Editor if I were not to make some excuse for the attacks made by him on theological dogmas. In Germany men of science and theologians look upon one another with a mutual contempt, while in this country scientific men entertain respect for theologians, and the latter fortunately have a profound admiration for students of science, and (when properly educated) have not the effrontery to combat the teachings of pure inductive science. In Germany, too, science is used as a political engine to overthrow the arrogant assumptions of kingcraft and priestcraft, from the evil influence of which we now in England suffer little.
