ULTIMANAL OF OR SCIENCE OF THE SCIENCES VOL. I. AN HISTORICAL AND CRITICAL INTRODUCTION TO THE HARMONY OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION. BY CHARLES WOODRUFF SHIELDS, D.D., LL.D., PROFESSOR IN PRINCETON College. THIRD EDITION. ABRIDGED AND REVISED. NEW YORK: CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS. ADVERTISEMENT OF THE THIRD EDITION. The suggestion has been made by competent critics of this treatise, hitherto entitled the "Final Philosophy," that its main purpose might be better served by issuing it in an abridged and more popular form. In thus adapting it to the general reader, the author has found that certain omitted portions. really belong elsewhere in his general scheme, as it was at first published, and should form substantive parts of it rather than mere introductory features. Accordingly, such passages have been re-cast and transferred to their proper place in a second volume which is now passing through the press. The forthcoming volume will treat directly of The Science of the Sciences, or first part of PHILOSOPHIA ULTIMA as outlined in the original essay in the closing chapter of this volume. 580280 |
