Excerpt from Other Worlds Than Ours: The Plurality of Worlds Studied Under the Light of Recent Scientific Researches This edition has been carefully revised and in many important respects modified. Several passages relating to questions which were under controversy when the earlier editions appeared have been removed - those questions having been decid ed by new evidence, in the sense advocated in the orig inal text. I have also omitted several passages from the last chap ter, as expressing a more confident opinion about mat ters connected with the supervision and control of the universe than I at present entertain.
