Books of enduring scholarly value

Religion
For centuries, scripture and theology were the focus of prodigious amounts
of scholarship and publishing, dominated in the English-speaking world
by the work of Protestant Christians. Enlightenment philosophy and
science, anthropology, ethnology and the colonial experience all brought
new perspectives, lively debates and heated controversies to the study of
religion and its role in the world, many of which continue to this day. This
series explores the editing and interpretation of religious texts, the history of
religious ideas and institutions, and not least the encounter between religion
and science.

Man and his Dwelling Place

History remembers James Hinton as a successful surgeon and author
of books and articles on physiology and ethics. A gifted thinker and
communicator, Hinton was well placed to address the relationship between
science and religion in an age when the two were pitted against each other.
First published in 1859, the same year as the Origin of Species, Man and His
Dwelling Place takes an ambitiously broad view of the human condition,
addressing difficult topics from science, religion, philosophy and ethics.
Hinton’s arguments against outdated ways of thinking and his approach to
human nature were revolutionary, and he took pains to address readers’
doubts in a series of question-and-answer dialogues at the end of the book.
Hinton’s impassioned plea for a bolder spirit of enquiry to better interpret
human existence assures this book an important place in the history of
science and the understanding of Darwin’s intellectual context.
Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of
out-of-print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of
books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be
reprinted economically using traditional technology. The Cambridge Library
Collection extends this activity to a wider range of books which are still of
importance to researchers and professionals, either for the source material
they contain, or as landmarks in the history of their academic discipline.
Drawing from the world-renowned collections in the Cambridge
University Library, and guided by the advice of experts in each subject area,
Cambridge University Press is using state-of-the-art scanning machines
in its own Printing House to capture the content of each book selected for
inclusion. The files are processed to give a consistently clear, crisp image,
and the books finished to the high quality standard for which the Press
is recognised around the world. The latest print-on-demand technology
ensures that the books will remain available indefinitely, and that orders for
single or multiple copies can quickly be supplied.
The Cambridge Library Collection will bring back to life books of enduring
scholarly value across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social
sciences and in science and technology.

" As for the possibility, they are ill discoverers who

think there is no land when they can see nothing but
sea."—LOED BACON. On the Advancement ofTiearning.

LONDON:
JOHN W. PAEKEE AND SON, WEST STEAND.
1859-
\The Author reserves the right of Translation.]
 There was an old man who had abundance of gold. And the
sound of the gold was pleasant to his ears, and his eye delighted
in its brightness. By day he thought of gold, and his dreams were
of gold by night. His hands were full of gold, and he rejoiced in
the multitude of his chests. But he was faint with hunger, and his
trembling limbs shivered beneath his rags. No kind hand ministered
to him, nor cheerful voices made music in his home.
And there came a child to the old man, and said : Father, I
have found a secret. We are rich. You shall not be hungry and
miserable any more. Grold will buy all things. Then the old man
was wroth and said : Would you take from me my gold ?

INTRODUCTION.
He who has seen obscurities which appeared impenetrable
in physical and mathematical science suddenly dispelled, and
the most barren and unpromising fields of inquiry converted,
as if by inspiration, into rich and inexhaustible springs of
knowledge and power on a simple change of our point of view,
or by merely bringing to bear upon them some principle
which it never occurred before to try, will surely be the very
last to acquiesce in any dispiriting prospects of either the
present or future destinies of mankind.
SIR J. HERSCHEL : Disc, on Nat. Philosophy.

I T has been well observed that the child and the

savage invent an explanation of every thing they
do not understand, whilst the man whose powers
are matured and disciplined investigates. He has
learnt to be patient, and to wait for grounds of
knowledge before he supposes himself to know.
Thus progress is made. From investigation comes
discovery. Our partial and incompetent reason,
brought into contact with the great facts of nature,
becomes itself enlarged. For the natural supposi-
tions by which man explains the unknown are not
equal to the scope of things. They express him-
self, his ignorance, his limited relations.
