London, The Sheldon Press [for the SPCK], 1934.

First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket.

The author argues “along strictly scientific lines” for the insufficiency of a merely mechanistic theory of the universe, marshalling physiological, embryological, psychological and astronomical evidence toward a spiritual interpretation that affirms both the existence and the moral character of God and the survival of the human soul – a work of natural theology pitched deliberately at the general reader and independent of scriptural revelation. Issued by the Sheldon Press, the publishing house of the SPCK, it carried notable endorsements: Sir Oliver Lodge found its philosophy “in many respects akin to my own,” and it drew approving notices from the Oxford zoologist E. B. Poulton, the King’s College physiologist W. D. Halliburton, the British Medical Journal and The Lancet.
