Excerpt from Religion and Chemistry, Vol. 3: A Re-Statement of an Old Argument
The conditions under which this work was first published are stated in the preface to the first edition, reprinted below. Although the book has been long out of print, the author has not been able to revise it for a new edition until now, and returning to this work of his youth, after twenty years of active life, he has found nothing in the tone or sentiments of the book which he desired to change. Indeed, larger knowledge has only served to confirm the general convictions therein expressed. But, of necessity, the discovery of new facts and changes in scientific theories have required alterations of phraseology in many places, and more experience has led to greater caution in the statement of conclusions. It was the authors first intention to re-write the whole book on a different plan, and in retaining the popular style of the first edition he has yielded to the judgment of friends who thought that the book would be more useful in its early, fresh form.
