William Rathbone Greg (1809-1881) was born in Manchester, England. An essayist at heart, he was educated at the University of Edinburgh, managed a mill, and joined the struggle for free trade. He abandoned business for writing in 1850; his works include Creed of Christendom and Rocks Ahead—a metaphysical musing. He was also Comptroller of the Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

This 1872 meditation on religious issues grapples with questions of faith, science, and belief. Asserting “I do not say I know there is a God; I only say that I observe and infer much that forces that conviction upon me,” the author considers Christianity, omnipotence, Malthus, Darwin, and human development.
