"The spirit of the time is show, not substance. Our politics, our ethics, our religion, our science, is a sham. The truth-teller is ill-mannered, therefore immoral.

My aim has been to prove that the powers before which man crouches are creatures of his own limited, ignorant, uncultured, and timorous mind; to prove that in special the being whom man sets over against himself as a separate supernatural existence is his own being.

EXTRACTS.

"Give up blind adhesion to creeds and priests; strive to think, and follow out in action the result of your thoughts. Each mental struggle is an enlargement of your mind, an addition to your brain-power, an increase of your soul-the only soul you have."

"It is said by many a pious tongue that God helps the poor; the wretchedness of some of their hovel houses, found, alas, too often, in the suburbs of our wealthiest cities, grimy, black, squalid and miserable; the threadbare raggedness of their garments; the unwholesomeness of the food they eat; the poisoned air they breathe in their narrow wynds and filthy alleys all these tell how much God helps the poor !"

The author of this volume has evidently kept company with many of the finer spirits of the age, until his mind has become imbued with the fragrance of their thought. He has He has excellent tendencies, elevated tastes, and sound aspirations.-New York Tribune.

He has brought the fruits of a large culture and extensive reading, and a mind unusually calm and thoughtful, to bear upon the questions which are agitating the hour.-N. Y. World.
