bottom, where —A.L.E.I. should have been written —A.L. Y (or.I.)E. (El Yah), or —A.L.OU.E. (Eloh), etc. The next occurs on page 109, line 6 from bottom, where millions should read thousands.

I have only now to frankly admit that during the last few years my views as regards the theories of ultimate causation and the future state have undergone some modification; that consequently I now regard the line of argument adopted in support of the theory of a future state of consciousness on pages 5 & 6 of my above named work as a false one and the conclusions arrived at as consequently false also; and that respecting the existence of a ruling power in the universe, I neither affirm nor deny such a condition, being contented with the knowledge that I neither know ncr apparently can ever know anything at all about the matter, and recognizing, with Moleschott, the incontrovertible truth that "there is nothing in our intellect which has not entered by the gate of the senses."
