Mr. Gladstone and Genesisby Thomas Henry HuxleyIn controversy, as in courtship, the good old rule to be offwith the old before one is on with the new, greatly commendsitself to my sense of expediency. And, therefore, it appears tome desirable that I should preface such observations as I mayhave to offer upon the cloud of arguments (the relevancy ofwhich to the issue which I had ventured to raise is not alwaysobvious) put forth by Mr. Gladstone in the January number ofthis review, by an endeavour to make clear to such of ourreaders as have not had the advantage of a forensic educationthe present net result of the discussion....
