Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Spiritual Interpretation of Nature
These chapters, which have grown out of courses of lectures delivered both in this country and in America, are addressed to those who in their earlier outlook upon Nature felt sure of her inherent spirituality, but latterly have found difficulty in bringing this conception into line with some of the results of modern scientific thought. They contain, therefore, little for the special ist in science and philosophy, except perhaps in Chapters III. And IV., whose conclusions may suffice for the general reader. For some schools of theology, they possibly contain nothing at all.
Where a writer's range of indebtedness is great, it is hardly possible to indicate it even by continuous foot notes, although that has been attempted here in some degree. In addition to the stimuli of many writings in particular the volume of Papers read before the Synthetic Society, kindly given to me by Mr. Wilfrid Ward - I would acknowledge my gratitude to him from whose New Testament I have taken his reading of a familiar verse, while to Dr. Sutherland Black I have owed much through many years. Nor can I refrain from stating what I have learned in conversation from my friend Professor John Clark of Boston University.
