Excerpt from Two Papers: I. On the Relation Between Science and Religion; II. On the Bearings of the Study of Natural Science; Read in 1880 Before the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society of Great Britain In addressing you, therefore, on the present occasion I do not propose to undertake that, which perhaps is the proper duty of one selected to deliver this address, i.e. To bring before you the present state of the great question, commenting on the latest discoveries or speculations which directly or in directly may seem to affect it. I will assume that I shall be allowed to take a somewhat different, and in one sense a wider s00pe, and to discuss some fundamental principles, which have in my judgment a very important bearing on the purposes for which this Institute is founded.
