Summary:

The late Mr. George John Romanes occupied a distinguished place in contemporary biology. But his mind was also continuously and increasingly active on the problems of metaphysics and theology. And at his death in the early summer of this year (1894), he left among his papers some notes, made mostly in the previous winter, for a work which he was intending to write on the fundamental questions of religion. After reading the notes myself, and obtaining the judgment of others in whom I feel confidence upon them, I have no hesitation either in publishing by far the greater part of them, or in publishing them with the author's name in spite of the fact that the book as originally projected was to have been anonymous. The first section of this volume looks at the influence of science upon religion. Similarly, the last section of the book provides Romanes's notes for a work on the examination of religion.
