Natural Selection and Natural Theology

Abstract

PROF. ASA GRAY is kind enough to remark that he has read my reply to his previous communication with interest. I should like to say, in limine, that I have read his reply to me not only with interest but with profit; for it is not often that one meets with an argument so carefully thought out and so clearly presented. Therefore, if I seek to meet his further criticisms, it is not in any spirit of controversy that I do so, but solely for the sake of endeavouring to help, so far as I am able, in determining the true logical position of an important question.
