From the Introduction: "As an instinctively religious being man is constitutionally concerned in the sublime science which more perhaps than any other department of physics has enabled him to look "through nature up to nature's God." If "an undevout astronomer is mad" the converse is at least measurably true: unastronomic piety is mad. For if science without devotion be defective because the spiritual is the necessary inspiration of the material devotion without science is also defective because the material is the necessary embodiment of the spiritual. Science without religion is a corpse; religion without science is a ghost." Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey & Co hardcover

Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of an importent paper announcing Darwin's so-called "Resonance Theory" of the origin of the moon according to which the moon might have originated from the fission of a parent earth as the result of an instability produced by resonant solar tides."Darwin's most significant contribution to the history of science lies in his pioneering work in the application of detailled dynamical analysis to cosmological and geological problems. That many of his conclusions are now out of date should in no way diminish the historical interest in his experiments nor the importent service thet he rendered cosmogony by the example he gave of putting various hypotheses to the test of actual calculations. Darwin's method remains a milestone in the development of cosmogony and subsequent investigators have favored it over the merely qualitative arguments prevalent until that time."DSB. </em> unknown
