Abstract
IN the review of the first edition of this work (NATURE, vol. Ixxxii., p. 5, November 4, 1909) it was pointed out that the fundamental idea was that of faith as a permanent and essential constituent of human movement along the lines both of thought and of action. In the present edition, this is the single point of view, and the concluding chapters of the original work, amounting to about sixty pages, are now included in the author's “Prolegomena zur Naturphilosophie.” The work is rich in thought and represents a noteworthy contribution of a naturalist to the human concept of immortality.
