Excerpt from The Natural and the Supernatural The antlthe31s expressed by the terms natural and supernatural has been recognlzed as a fact ln the rellglous consclousness of man from.the earliest tlmes down to the present.

Excerpt from The Supernatural Christianity is the masterpiece of God, the paramount moral and spiritual design, and the crowning glory of the Infinite and Eternal Creator and Maker of all things. Christianity in its essential unity and central energy is supernatural; it is that, or it is a stupendous fraud. The Christian religion, peculiarly separate from other religions, is a system distinguished and dominated by the supernatural, or it is at once an insidious and vexa tious delusion. It deals with God and moral responsi bility, and with the life and souls and destiny of men. It is an orderly arrangement; and a firm, wisely designed compact of supernaturalism as clearly opposed to natur alism and humanism in the Spiritual domain. Its solid facts, its indisputable relations, its sure doctrines given of God, constitute a supernatural fabric of strength and beauty; and its inner life is a supernatural light, a superhuman flame. Otherwise its advocates are impos tors, and its teachers and propagators are weaklings, grossly deceived or deliberate deceivers. There is no middle ground. It is not a case of half-true, half-false. It is God's gift to man, or it is a gigantic falsehood. Its structure and essence are clear to the honest, open vision. Its principles are fixed in the moral and spiritual constitution of the eternal God, and its nature, aim and energies have been demonstrated tens of thousands of times in the relations of God and men.

Excerpt from Science and the Supernatural In the language of Frederic Harrison, one of the foremost positivists of the day, This method turns aside from hypotheses not to be tested by any known logical canon familiar to science, whether the hypothesis claims support from intuition, aspira tion or general plausibility. And, again, this method turns aside from ideal standards which avow them selves to be lawless, which profess to transcend the field of law. We say, life and conduct shall stand for us wholly on a basis of law, and must rest entirely in that region of science, (not physical, but moral and social science, ) where we are free to use, our intelligence in the methods known to us as ih telligible logic, methods which the intellect can analyze. When you confront us with hypotheses however sublime and however affecting, if they can not be stated in terms of the rest of our knowledge, if they are disparate to that world of sequence and sensation which to us is the ultimate base of all our real knowledge, then we shake our heads and turn aside.

Excerpt from Supernatural Revelation: Or First Principles of Moral Theology What babblings can be more profane and vain than those of Positivism with its new Supreme Being; or of Agnosticism, which places an algebraical x, the unknowable, on the throne of the universe? What can be more falsely named science than the audacious conjectures which have been of late repeatedly dignified with the name of scientific theories? Such as the con stant generation of the unlike from the unlike, through infinite ages of geological time, before there existed a single man who could witness this prodigious inver sion of the countless experiences of all real science for the last six thousand years? One great duty of Cambridge at this crisis, is in the study of nature to abide stedfastly by the induc tive principles of the philosophy of Bacon and Newton, so well carried out by many Cambridge students of these later times. But this implies the further duty to refrain from that unbridled license of imagination in scientific subjects, which leads many to dignify plausible or even unplausible conjectures with the name of science. Conjectures in science have a great use, but this depends on our never confounding them with proved facts.

Excerpt from Things Divine and Supernatural Conceived by Analogy With Things Natural and Human Having in the first Book of the former Tract treated of the Ideas of Sensation, as the only Original Materials for the Mind of Man to work upon, and the First Foundation on which the whole Superstructure of all our Knowledge both human and divine is railed; having also in the Second treated of the Pure Intellect, and its various Operations upon thole Ideas and the Conceptions and Complex Notions formed partly out of them: I am now to discourse more fully and particularly of that Divine Analogy to which we owe the greatest Enlargement of human Understanding; and without which the Nature and Properties of God and supernatural Beings, and the Objects of another World, would be as utterly inconceivable to us as if they had no Existence.

Excerpt from The Supernatural Philosopher: Or, the Mysteries of Magick, in All Its Branches, Clearly Unfolded The second preserves travellers from danger, and is favourable to merchants, tradesmen, and workmen. The third carries destruction to any place where it is put: and it is said that a certain great minister of state ordered one of these to be carried into England in the times of the revolution ofgovern ment caused by Oliver Cromwell. The fourth they pretend cures fevers and other diseases; and if it be put under the bolster, it makes the proprietor have true dreams, in which he sees all he desires to know. The fifth, according to them, renders a man lucky and fortunate in all his businesses and undertakings. It dissipates melancholy, drives away all importunate cares, and banishes panic fears from the mind. The sixth, by being put into the liquor which any one drinks, reconciles mortal enemies, makes them intimate friends: it gains the love of all women, and renders the proprietor very dexterous in the art of music. The seventh makes women be easily brought to bed without pain; and if a horseman carries it in his left boot, himself and his horse become invulnerable. This, Paracelsus and his learned followers say, is owing to the influence of the stars; but I cannot help arguing these acts of diabolical impiety. But as these arts are rarely known among the middling part of mankind, I shall neither open their mysteries, nor inveigh against them any farther.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Special Providences: A Vision The first vis10n placed me in that moral and intellectual position which the professed believers in supernatural mira cles and special providences generally occupy that is, it made me see with the eyes and through the opinions of those who base their faith and hope upon superficial perception and human testimony. The second vision enabled me to examine the seemmg miracles and special providences, which are recorded 'in'the Bible and elsewhere, through the pure medi ums of Nature and Reason. But the argument is addressed to the Understanding. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
