HENRY (1851-1897) , Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer, was See also:horn in See also:Stirling on the 17th of See also:August 1851. He was educated at See also:Edinburgh University, where he displayed a strong inclination for • See also:physical and mathematical See also:science.

time deeply interested in the evangelizing See also:mission of See also:Moody and Sankey, in which he actively co-operated for two years. In 1877 he became lecturer on natural science in the Free Church See also:College, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he See also:felt a vocation. His studies resulted in his See also:writing Natural See also:Law in the Spiritual See also:World, the See also:argument of which was that the scientific principle of continuity extended from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the See also:book issued from the See also:press (1883), a sudden invitation from the See also:African Lakes See also:Company See also:drew Drummond away to Central See also:Africa.. Upon his return in the following See also:year he found himself famous. Large bodies of serious readers, alike among the religious and the scientific classes, discovered in Natural Law the See also:common See also:standing-ground which they needed; and the universality of the demand proved, if nothing more, the seasonableness of its publication. Drummond continued to be actively interested in missionary and other movements among the Free Church students. In 1888 he published Tropical Africa, a valuable See also:digest of See also:information. In 1890 he travelled in See also:Australia, and in 1893 delivered the See also:Lowell Lectures at See also:Boston. It had been his intention to reserve them for mature revision, but an attempted piracy compelled him to hasten their publication, ,and they appeared in 1844 under the See also:title of The Ascent of See also:Man. Their See also:object was to vindicate for See also:altruism, or the disinterested care and compassion of animals for each other, an important See also:part in effecting " the survival of the fittest," a thesis previously maintained by See also:Professor See also:John See also:Fiske. Drummond's See also:health failed shortly after-wards, and he died on the rrth of See also:March 1897. His See also:character was full of See also:charm. His writings were too nicely adapted to the needs of his own See also:day to justify the expectation that they would See also:long survive it, but few men exercised more religious See also:influence in their own See also:generation, especially on See also:young men.
