Abstract
ALTHOUGH the manuscript of these three large volumes was completed by the author, it was not until after his death that the greater portion of the book passed through the press. In these circumstances nothing remained for the editors but faithfully to carry out the work of publishing “Design in Nature” in the form in which it was left, although, as they point out, many improvements would no doubt have suggested themselves to Prof. Pettigrew if he had lived to see the book in type. The aim and object of the work was to demonstrate the existence of a first cause, or Creator, from the study of the phenomena of the organic and inorganic worlds.
