Description
The book lectures were originally presented at the Brooklyn Institute in 1861 and later given again at the Lowell Institute in Boston and before the Mechanics’ Association of Lowell. The lectures were expanded from six to ten, incorporating many additions since their original delivery to account for the progress of science. The lectures aimed to demonstrate that there is ample evidence of design in the properties of the chemical elements alone and that organic development cannot undermine the foundation of the argument for Natural Theology.
