| Summary: | "The present work has been prepared on a plan far more extensive. During my religious life, I have had a very intimate association with the various religious, moral, social, and political questions and movements which have agitated and molded thought in America and the world at large, and with many of the leading minds who gave form and direction to these great movements. As a student of theology and Biblical science, and of all the sciences, as a preacher of the everlasting Gospel, and as a Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy and Theology, I have had occasion to ponder, and weigh, and determine, with great care and circumspection, the various problems of natural, mental, moral, and theological science, together with the doctrines of the diverse schools in philosophy and religion. A leading object of the following treatise is to disclose and render intelligible the processes of thought and deduction by which the author, as an inquirer, and for nearly thirty years a teacher of science, arrived at his present settled and peace-imparting convictions on the subjects under consideration"--Preface.
