Excerpt from Thoughts on Science, Theology, and Ethics The object of this little book is to give a correct sketch of the main lines of modern thought in small compass and in language simple enough to be easily understood. It is intended specially for those who, taking an interest in the subject of it, have not leisure to study the large and learned books in which they are treated. From this it will be apparent that no claim is made to originality of thought. The writer will be quite satisfied if his readers are led to take greater interest in the grand principles of Science, Theology, and Ethics, and are aided in forming clearer conceptions of them. The following words are defined in the sense intended by the writer, although they may be used by others in senses different from his.
