Agnosticism and Theism in the Nineteenth Century
An Historical Study of Religious Thought (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Agnosticism and Theism in the Nineteenth Century: An Historical Study of Religious Thought<br><br>The Lectures contained in this volume represent the last of Richard Armstrong's contributions to the chosen subject of his thought and study. They were prepared for popular audiences and had been received at Nottingham and Northampton, the only places in which they were delivered, with an interest that gave promise of far reaching usefulness and influence. It was felt that they displayed in a high degree all the best characteristics of Mr. Armstrong's expositions. They are indeed models of lucidity, candour, and sincerity, and in the largeness and generosity of their appreciation and sympathy they show that Mr. Armstrong's mind was deepening and mellowing as well as strengthening up to the very end.<br><br>His death has disappointed the hopes of many expectant audiences; but it was impossible to allow utterances of such weight to be withheld from the public and (with a single exception) the manuscript was so complete as to render the task of preparing it for the press a light one.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
