Know the Truth: A Critique on the Hamiltonian Theory of Limitation / Including Some Strictures Upon the Theories of Rev. Henry L. Mansel and Mr. Herbert Spencer

The author critiques the Hamiltonian theory of limitation and opposes interpretations that confine the divine to conditioned concepts. He contrasts two ultimate philosophical outcomes—pantheism or atheism versus a pure theism—and defends a personal, absolute, and infinite deity characterized by intellect, sensibility, and will. Through analytic exposition and critical reviews of contemporary religious and scientific writers, he examines absoluteness, infinity, a priori ideals, and the relativity and limits of human knowledge. He argues that exhaustive divine self-comprehension yields definite attributes that ground the being and continuance of the universe and seeks a reconciliation between ultimate religious ideas and scientific principles.
