  Duke of Argyll, Reign of Law
This book by George Campbell, eighth Duke of Argyll and supporter of the Church of Scotland, was his best-known attack on the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin and the powers ever more commonly attributed to natural laws.
Campbell argues that if natural laws contrive the living world as Darwin argues then it is actually God acting through those laws.
Campbell endeavoured to show that this formidable alternative to God controlling the world was in fact only God's tool for doing so.

Archibald had long before become the king's lieutenant in the "bounds of the clan Gregor", and he was answerable for all their excesses.
Argyll received them kindly, and assured them that though he was commanded by the king to apprehend them, he had little doubt he would be able to procure a pardon, and, in the meantime, he would send them to England under an escort, which would convey them off Scottish ground.
The Duke of Argyll is hereditary master of the queen's household in Scotland, keeper of the castles of Dunoon, Dunstaffnage, and Carrick, and heritable sheriff of Argyleshire.
