Reviews for The Interpreters of Genesis and the Interpreters of Nature
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5More of a short pamphlet than a book, this is the ruminations of Darwin's Bulldog on those who would limit human knowledge to the first chapters of Genesis. It's sad how relevant many of the things he talks about still are, more than 100 years later, when we still have to fight the evolution battle.

ESSAY #4 FROM SCIENCE AND HEBREW TRADITION
By Thomas Henry Huxley
Our fabulist warns those who in quarrels interpose
of the fate which is probably in store for them; and, in venturing to place myself between so powerful a controversialist as Mr. Gladstone and the eminent divine whom he assaults with such vigour in the last number of this Review, 1 I am fully aware that I run great danger of verifying Gay's prediction. Moreover, it is quite possible that my zeal in offering aid to a combatant so extremely well able to take care of himself as M. Reville may be thought to savour of indiscretion.
Two considerations, however, have led me to face the double risk. The one is that though, in my judgment, M. Reville is wholly in the right in that part of the controversy to which I propose to restrict my observations, nevertheless he, as a foreigner, has very little chance of making the truth prevail with Englishmen against the authority and the dialectic skill of the greatest master of persuasive rhetoric among English-speaking men of our time. As the Queen's proctor intervenes, in certain cases, between two litigants in the interests of justice, so it may be permitted me to interpose as a sort of uncommissioned science proctor. My second excuse for my meddlesomeness is, that important questions of natural science—respecting which neither of the combatants professes to speak as an expert—are involved in the controversy; and I think it is desirable that the public should know what it is that natural science really has to say on these topics, to the best belief of one who has been a diligent student of natural science for the last forty years.
The original Prolegomenes de l'Histoire des Religions
has not come in my way; but I have read the translation of M. Reville's work, published in England under the auspices of Professor
