Abstract
THE little book under notice consists of a series of lectures illustrating simply the Quaker attitude to various problems. In the chapter on biological foundations, the author attempts to show that the fundamental doctrines of Quakerism, i.e. the acknowledgment of no final authority, whether Church or Bible, except the Word of God in the heart, are more in accord with the teachings of biological science than the dogmas of any other religion. The point of view is interesting, although it is doubtful whether the teachings of science, as such, are usefully fitted on as justification for a body of religious beliefs.
