    ceive the analogy with regard to Law, but em- phatically denies it. In the recent literature of this whole region there nowhere seems any advance upon the position of “ Nature and the Supernatural.” All are agreed in speaking of Nature and the Supernatural. Nature in the Supernatural, so far as Laws are concerned, is still an unknown truth. “ The Scientific Basis of Faith ” is a suggestive title. The accomplished author announces that the object of his investigation is to show that “ the world of nature and mind, as made known by science, constitute a basis and a preparation for that highest moral and spiritual life of man, which is evoked by the self-revelation of God.”1 On the whole, Mr. Murphy seems to be more philosophical and more profound in his view of the relation of science and religion than any writer of modern times. His conception of religion is broad and lofty, his acquaintance with science adequate. He makes constant, admirable, and often original use of analogy ; and yet, in spite of the promise of this quotation, he has failed to find any analogy in that department of Law where surely, of all others, it might most reasonably be looked for. 1 “The Scientific Basis of Faith.” By J. J. Murphy, p. 466.
