Agnosticism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Agnosticism<br><br>The author of this volume greatly regrets that so long an interval has elapsed between its appearance and the delivery of the Croall Lectures of 1887-88.<br><br>The delay is to he accounted for by the fact that he was appointed to the post of lecturer for that year rather suddenly, on the resignation of his friend the Rev. Dr Scott, and when he had already in hand other works ('Historical Philosophy' and 'Socialism,' &c.) which seemed to him to have even prior claims to publication. The delay has, of course, laid him under a deep debt of gratitude to the members of the Croall Trust for their kindness in allowing him to take his own time in the publication of the work. For that kindness he cordially thanks them, and hopes that the delay will be found to have rendered the volume more worthy of the Croall Trust than it would otherwise have been.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
