"THE more I think of it," says Mr. Ruskin, "I find this conclusion more impressed upon me--that the greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way." In these pages an attempt is made to tell "in a plain way" a few of the things which Science is now seeing with regard to the Ascent of Man. Whether these seeings are there at all is another matter. But, even if visions, every thinking mind, through whatever medium, should look at them. What Science has to say about himself is of transcendent interest to Man, and the practical bearings of this theme are coming to be more vital than any on the field of knowledge. The thread which binds the facts is, it is true, but a hypothesis As the theory, nevertheless. with which at present all scientific work is being done, it is assumed in every page that follows.

The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man by Henry Drummond is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores the evolution of humanity from a spiritual and philosophical perspective. Drummond, a Scottish evangelist, theologian, and lecturer, delivered these lectures in Boston in 1893, and they were later published in book form.The book is divided into seven chapters, each of which delves into a different aspect of the ascent of man. Drummond begins by discussing the concept of evolution and how it relates to the spiritual development of humanity. He then explores the role of love in human evolution, arguing that it is the most powerful force in the universe and the key to humanity's progress.Drummond goes on to examine the relationship between science and religion, arguing that they are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. He also discusses the importance of faith in human evolution, drawing on examples from history and personal experience.Throughout the book, Drummond emphasizes the importance of personal growth and transformation in the ascent of man. He argues that each individual has the potential to evolve spiritually and that this evolution is essential for the progress of humanity as a whole.Overall, The Lowell Lectures On The Ascent Of Man is a fascinating and thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on the evolution of humanity. It is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality, philosophy, and the intersection of science and religion.One seldom-raised yet not merely curious question of Evolution is, why the process should be an evolution at all? If Evolution is simply a method of Creation, why was this very extraordinary method chosen? Creation tout d'un coup might have produced the same result; an instantaneous act or an age-long process would both have given us the world as it is? The answer of modern natural theology has been that the evolutionary method is the infinitely nobler scheme. A spectacular act, it is said, savours of the magician. As a mere exhibition of power it appeals to the lower nature; but a process of growth suggests to the reason the work of an intelligent Mind. No doubt this intellectual gain is real.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

No class of works is received with more suspicion, I had almost said derision, than those which deal with Science and Religion. Science is tired of reconciliations between two things which never should have been contrasted; Religion is offended by the patronage of an ally which it professes not to need; and the critics have rightly discovered that, in most cases where Science is either pitted against Religion or fused with it, there is some fatal misconception to begin with as to the scope and province of either. But although no initial protest, probably, will save this work from the unhappy reputation of its class, the thoughtful mind will perceive that the fact of its subject-matter being Law-a property peculiar neither to Science nor to Religion-at once places it on a somewhat different footing. The real problem I have set myself may be stated in a sentence. Is there not reason to believe that many of the Laws of the Spiritual World, hitherto regarded as occupying an entirely separate province, are simply the Laws of the Natural World? Can we identify the Natural Laws, or any one of them, in the Spiritual sphere? That vague lines everywhere run through the Spiritual World is already beginning to be recognized. Is it possible to link them with those great lines running through the visible universe which we call the Natural Laws, or are they fundamentally distinct? In a word, Is the Supernatural natural or unnatural? I may, perhaps, be allowed to answer these questions in the form in which they have answered themselves to myself. And I must apologize at the outset for personal references which, but for the clearness they may lend to the statement, I would surely avoid. It has been my privilege for some years to address regularly two very different audiences on two very different themes. On week days I have lectured to a class of students on the Natural Sciences, and on Sundays to an audience consisting for the most part of working men on subjects of a moral and religious character. I cannot say that this collocation ever appeared as a difficulty to myself, but to certain of my friends it was more than a problem. It was solved to me, however, at first, by what then seemed the necessities of the case-I must keep the two departments entirely by themselves.

Eternal Life is a fascinating religious philosophy book by Henry Drummond that deals with the subject of future life. Henry Drummond FRSE FGS (17 August 1851 - 11 March 1897) was a Scottish evangelist, biologist, writer and lecturer.Many of his writings were too adapted to the needs of his own day to justify the expectation that they would long survive it. His sermon "The Greatest Thing in the World" remains popular in Christian circles.In 1877 he was lecturer on natural science in the Free Church College on Lynedoch Street in Glasgow, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he felt a vocation. Drummond advocated for theistic evolution. His studies resulted in his writing Natural Law in the Spiritual World, the argument being that the scientific principle of continuity extends from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the book was published in 1883, an invitation from the African Lakes Company took Drummond to Central Africa.
