“The story of the struggle of searchers after truth with the organized forces of ignorance, bigotry, and superstition is the most inspiring chapter in the whole history of mankind. That story has never been better told than by the ex-President of Cornell University in these two volumes.... A wonderful story it is that he tells.”—London Daily Chronicle.
“A literary event
of prime importance is the appearance of
’A History of
the Warfare of Science with Theology in
Christendom.’”—Philadelphia
Press.
“Such an honest and thorough treatment of the subject in all its bearings that it will carry weight and be accepted as an authority in tracing the process by which the scientific method has come to be supreme in modern thought and life.”—Boston Herald.
“A great work
of a great man upon great subjects, and will
always be a religio-scientific
classic.”—Chicago Evening
Post.
“It is graphic, lucid, even-tempered—never bitter nor vindictive. No student of human progress should fail to read these volumes. While they have about them the fascination of a well-told tale, they are also crowded with the facts of history that have had a tremendous bearing upon the development of the race.”—Brooklyn Eagle.
“The same liberal spirit that marked his public life is seen in the pages of his book, giving it a zest and interest that can not fail to secure for it hearty commendation and honest praise.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
“A conscientious
summary of the body of learning to which it
relates accumulated
during long years of research.... A
monument of industry.”—N.Y.
Evening Post.
“A work which constitutes in many ways the most instructive review that has ever been written of the evolution of human knowledge in its conflict with dogmatic belief.... As a contribution to the literature of liberal thought, the book is one the importance of which can not be easily overrated.”—Boston Beacon.
“The most valuable
contribution that has yet been made to
the history of the conflicts
between the theologists and the
scientists.”—Buffalo
Commercial.
“Undoubtedly the most exhaustive treatise which has been written on this subject.... Able, scholarly, critical, impartial in tone and exhaustive in treatment.”—Boston Advertiser.
