PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

In this Edition, several more illustrations are given of the harmony of Scripture and Science. The arrangement of the Chapters has been changed,

and other minor alterations made. A Section has

been added, to show the high value we should put upon the opening portion of the Book of Genesis, on account of the important information it conveys.

THE HARMONY OF SCRIPTURE AND SCIENCE VINDI.

CATED BY AN APPEAL TO THE HISTORY OF THE PAST.

§ 1.-INSTANCES, FROM THE EARLIER HISTORY OF SCIENTIFIC

DISCOVERY, IN WHICH SCRIPTURE HAS BEEN RELIEVED OF

FALSE INTERPRETATIONS, AND THE HARMONY OF SCRIPTURE

AND SCIENCE THEREBY RE-ESTABLISHED

8

The Firmament-Antipodes—The Earth a Globe-The

Motion of the Earth.

§ 2.-INSTANCES, FROM THE LATER HISTORY OF SCIENCE, IN

WHICH SCRIPTURE HAS NOT ONLY BEEN RELIEVED OF FALSE

INTERPRETATIONS, BUT HAS HAD NEW LIGHT REFLECTED UPON

IT FROM THE DISCOVERIES OF SCIENCE

25

The Antiquity of the Earth-Creatures in existence

before the six days—Existence of Light before the six
days—Death in the World before Adam's fall—Spe-
cific Centres of Creation-No known traces of the
Deluge—The Deluge not universal.

§ 3.—INSTANCES IN WHICH SCIENCE HAS BEEN DELIVERED FROM

THE FALSE CONCLUSIONS OF SOME OF ITS VOTARIES, AND

THEREBY SHOWN TO BE IN ENTIRE AGREEMENT WITH SCRIP-

TURE

48

All men of one blood-Originally but one language-

Age of the human race-Differences of nations since

the Flood.
