'We may readily admit that Professor Haeckel has stated his case with the clearness and courage which we should expect of him, and that his lecture may be regarded as a fair and authoritative statement of the views now held by a large number of scientifically educated people.'—Times.
'The Monism, which is the substance of his faith, is thus defined by him: "Our conviction that there lives one spirit in all things, and that the whole cognizable world is constituted, and has been developed, in accordance with one common fundamental law." As the confession of a distinguished man of science, this little work deserves to be read.'— North British Daily Mail.
'This "Confession of Faith" was delivered by the great German scientist, its author, as an extemporaneous address at Altenburg rather more than two years ago. There are, no doubt, a large number of English readers who will welcome a translation, for this "connecting of religion and science" has long troubled many earnest students of modern science.'—Publisher's Circular.
'This is a little book of great daring, an example of the wild speculative flights of one of the very ablest and greatest of our contemporary men of science.'—Aberdeen Free Press.
'The address, whatever we may think of its conclusions, is, however, most interesting reading, and is admirably done into English by the translator.'—Literary World.
