The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 35

To the Editor of the "National Reformer."

To the Editor of the "National Reformer."

Sir,—Some of those who heard or may read the recent discussion between Mr. Bradlaugh and myself may be willing to pursue the positive argument for Theism and Worship which I adopted—as distinguished from and supplementary to the ordinary metaphysical argument—at greater length than the limits of time permitted me to expound it in the debate. Will you allow me to recommend to such persons three works which will specially serve their purpose? These are—Theodore Parker's "Discourse of Matters Pertaining to Religion" (eighteen-pence, British and Foreign Unitarian Association, 37, Norfolk Street, Strand); F. W. Newman's "Hebrew Theism" (half-a-crown, Trübner); and the Rev. Charles Voysey's "Mystery of Pain, Death, and Sin" (Williams & Norgate, 1878). I would gladly add to these Professor Blackie's "Natural History of Atheism"—a book of much intellectual force—were it not that he indulges too often in a strain of superior contempt with which I have no sympathy.—I am, &c.,

Richard A. Armstrong.
