THE RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY: 56, PATERNOSTER Row; 65, ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD; AND PREFACE. FTER a break of six months in the issues, a SECOND SERIES of Present Day Tracts has been begun. This seventh volume contains the first six numbers. As the new series is intended only to work out more fully the plan laid down in the Preface of the first Volume, the numbering of the separate Tracts runs on. This arrangement will be found practically more convenient to the public and the trade than beginning the numbering again. Five writers appear as contributors to the Series for the first time,-two of them, eminent scientific laymen, viz., the Cambridge Professor of Anatomy, Dr. Macalister, F.R.S., and the President-Elect of the British Association for the year 1886, Sir J. W. Dawson. Their subjects are of the highest importance, viz., "Man, Physiologically Considered," and "Points of Contact between Revelation and Natural Science." There are now three Tracts in the scientific branch of the Series-the third being "The Age and Origin of Man Geologically Considered," by Mr. Pattison and Professor Pfaff,-and three exclusively devoted to the questions relating to Man, viz., Canon Rawlinson's on "The Antiquity of Man Historically Considered," and the geological and physiological ones above named. The other new contributors are Dr. Henri Meyer, a French divine, who treats the inexhaustible subject of "The Christ of the Gospels," setting forth in a positive form the argument for His Divine personality and unique 277216 |
