My dear Sir
I am too grateful for any adverse criticism to be inclined to lambast it. But I think you are hardly fair to me when you say [2] that my system is not scientific. I claim at least this, that I build up my belief on facts & nothing but facts, the facts of the constitution of our own common human nature & the faculties which are never in [3] dispute.
It wd be foolish for me to follow you into the region of spiritualism, but I will closely read Mr. George Redway's1 work when it comes out. Perhaps you will be so very kind as to let me know the exact title of it, when settled. [4] I don't think trust in God comes by argument. But it is a step towards it to lessen intellectual & moral difficulties.
