Excerpt from The Morality of Nature A man now Of mature years, who began his reading when the epoch-making works Of Charles Robert Darwin were new books, has been privileged to share in a marvellous period Of human advancement. The new discoveries in those sciences which explore the prehistoric past of the world, and especially those which pertain to the progress Of life have promoted that central idea expressed by the word evolution from the status Of a theory to that Of an established principle - a necessary part of the educational equipment Of any thinking man. He who does not recognize evolution today is in the same class with those who do not believe that the earth is round. These are no longer questions to be argued, they are facts which are established in proofs so convincing that a little reading is all that is needed to make them clear. TO provide that little reading in regard to evolution is one of the purposes of this book. It is treated last because it is here only accessory to the chief arguments which precede it; but a reader who so desires may go over this explanation Of evolution first. It is broad and general rather than Of de tailed completeness. It will not satisfy the biologist any more than a landscape-painter's view of a forest scene would satisfy a botanist; but it has advantages nevertheless. The prime purpose of this work is the consideration Of Man as a participant in this great Evolution forward and upward.

Excerpt from The Origin and Nature of Man Our knowledge of a thing is in proportion to our knowledge of its causes; and a thing is not fully or truly known until all its causes are known. The causes are the antecedents necessarily involved in the production of a thing. Every work of design has four causes: the final cause, the formal cause, the material cause, and the efficient cause. If any one of these causes is lacking, the thing can never come into existence. The final cause is the purpose for which a thing is designed. The formal cause is the ideal or form existing in the mind before embodiment. The material cause is the substance which embodies the form. The efficient cause is the agency employed to perform the work of construction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from How Man Conquered Nature When we say man in this story, we mean men and women the human race. Just as when we say the lion is a fierce beast, we mean the lioness as well as the lion. Some of the animal families with which man started the race have vanished from the earth. They have been killed off by man, or have died out from other reasons. A few others, like the horse, dog, cow and sheep, have changed very much, because man has taken charge of them, as we shall see later. But what we call the Wild animals remain practically the same now as when the story starts, many thousands Of years ago.
