Excerpt from Christianity and Agnosticism: A Controversy The undisputed interest taken in the recent controversy between the Rev. Dr. Henry Wace, Principal of King's College London, and Prof. Huxley, over the question of the true significance of agnosticism, and incidentally of the limits of natural knowledge, and the difficulty of getting at the complete discussion when scattered through different publications, have induced the publishers to bring the articles together in a single volume. The opening paper, which led directly to those that follow, was read at the Church Congress in Manchester in 1888. The paper on "The Value of Witness to the Miraculous, " though not strictly a part of the controversy, was published by Prof. Huxley while it was going on, and its direct bearing on the question at issue is a sufficient reason for its insertion. Mr. Mallock's paper on "Cowardly Agnosticism, " and also that of Mrs. Humphry Ward, to which Dr. Wace makes reply in his second article, are included for the valuable sidelights they throw upon the general subject under discussion.
