Excerpt from Astronomy and General Physics Considered With Reference to Natural Theology
Now the peculiar point of view which at pre sent belongs to Natural Philosophy, and espe cially to the departments of it which have been most successfully cultivated, is, that nature, so far as it is an object of scientific research, is a collection of facts governed by laws: our know ledge of nature is our knowledge of laws; of laws of operation and connexion, of laws of suc cession and co-existence, among the various elements and appearances around us. And it must therefore here be our aim to Show how this View of the universe falls in with our con ception of the Divine Author, by whom we hold the universe to be made and governed.

Book Description:
William Whewell was a leading Cambridge intellectual of the Victorian period, active in science, theology and philosophy, and a contemporary of Darwin and Faraday. In this 1833 contribution to The Bridgewater Treatises, Whewell argues that study of the laws of nature confirms the existence of a divine law-giver.

For twenty-five years he was the Master of Trinity College at Cambridge. Whewell was the author of many books, including "History of the Inductive Sciences" and" Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences".
