Darwinism. The Noachian Flood, by Thomas R. R. Stebbing 64499 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/9/64499 ] [Files: 64499-0.txt; 64499-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this is a lecture by the Rev. Stebbing to his local natural history society in 1870, the year before Darwin's Ascent of Man was published. Stebbing uses Darwin's ideas to argue that the flood of Noah in the Bible could not have been across the whole world, but instead was merely local. He also refers to geological discovers etc. to prove his point. It's another response to Darwin, for Darwin Day (12 February). All the best, David England with a bit of snow

Moses, not Darwin, by Bennett George Johns 64496 [Subtitle: A Sermon] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/9/64496 ] [Files: 64496-0.txt; 64496-h.htm] For those wishing to know: February 12th is Darwin Day and this is one of a number of pamphlets I've found related to Darwin. Rev. Johns was chaplain of the Blind School at Southwark (south London), and preached this in 1871, the same year as Darwin's Ascent of Man was published. Clearly Darwin was a total shock to Johns, who insisted that man was totally different from the animals, and his entire theology rested up it. He doesn't mention Darwin in the pamhplet, nor does he attempt to disprove evolution etc. It's one of many responses to Darwin's book. All the best, David England with a bit of snow, but most melted

The Palace of Glass and the Gathering of the People, by John Stoughton 64495 [Subtitle: A Book for the Exhibition] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/4/9/64495 ] [Files: 64495-0.txt; 64495-h.htm] For those wishing to know: apologies, I transcribed this in 2015 and forgot I'd done it - memory not that good! Rev. John Stoughton was a famous and well-liked minister in Kensington, England, when the 1851 Great Exhibition was to be staged there, bringing people from all over the world. Stoughton wrote the book for the Religious Tract Society, it being partly history, partly guide book, and partly religious. Unlike many of the other "guides" this is much more imaginative, and somewhat sermon-like. All the best, David, England with snow on the ground, but not much
