Description

John Stuart Blackie (1809-1895), professor of Greek at the University of Edinburgh, Scottish wit and man of letters, examines in these chapters the varieties, causes and consequences of atheism as he saw them — a Victorian polemic at the crossroads of theology, philosophy and natural science. Facsimile of the American edition (Scribner, Armstrong & Co., 1878).This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1878 New York (Scribner, Armstrong & Co.) edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
