Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future Life in the Light of Modern Inquiry The author Offers no apology for the publica tion of this book. The subject is indeed well worn, and there is much plausibility in the aphorism that nothing new has been said for immortality since Plato, and nothing new against it since Epicurus. Yet this is not to be taken too literally. Our newer knowledge has deprived many ancient arguments of the pres tige which they once enjoyed, and has, at the same time, opened up fresh paths of reflection and suggested the lines along which the thoughts of coming generations are likely to run. More over, the world in our day is shaking and the hearts of men are failing them for fear. Every one is bound to say what he can on behalf of a belief that cannot but steady and reassure the human soul amid the perils that now beset it.
