Modern Physical Fatalism is an able examination of the groundwork of H. Spencer's Negative Philosophy from a mathematical and physical standpoint. Though dealing with abstruse problems it is characterized throughout by unusual perspicuity of thought and logical acumen. Mr. Birks displays much skill in demonstrating the numerous contradictions and startling paradoxes which underlie the verbose definitions and imperfect reasoning of the "First Principles" of this philosophy, a philosophy which would reconcile religion and science by extinguishing the former and placing blind fate on the throne of the universe. As we shall show hereafter, he conclusively proves that the whole system is based on false assumption, and established by more than doubtful logic. We rejoice that the university which gave birth to this doctrine of physical fatalism has also sent forth so able and complete a refutation of it. -- The London Quarterly Review, Volume 52 [1879]

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
