Abstract
THIS volume is a sketch of Sir Oliver Lodge's well-known theories concerning the universe, man, survival, and immortality. There would not appear to be anything new in his treatment of these matters in the present work; rather is it intended for a different type of audience. For on examination, it seems that the book is primarily put forward as a persuasive essay to be read by those who, for whatever cause, are forsaking organised religions and embarking independently in their quest for truth. As a handbook of spiritualism for the bereaved person or for the perplexed cleric the book is admirable; as an exposition of the same theme for the unemotional and critical man of science, it is not altogether convincing.
