Such a statement should be as brief as is con sistent with right understanding, and should be to the point. In View of the animated and heated discussions that have been excited by the present situ ation, this statement Should be free from prejudice and partiality. It is from this standpoint that the follow ing pages have been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Evolution of Man Whoever claims to be an educated man, a man who thinks, must acquire a knowledge of the outline of modern scientific research and of the theories concerning the descent of man. No thought is so essential and sublime as that about ourselves. One may be skeptical as to the value of these things, but before any discussion of them is possible, one must, above all, think.

Excerpt from The Meaning of Evolution Papa, who made me? I told him God, and he knew enough and was content with his knowledge. After a while he grew older and his inquisitive spirit began to puzzle with the question of how God had made him. When his growing mind was ready for the new knowledge I took him to my side and told him the great mystery of life. I told him how he owed to his father and to his mother the beginnings of his life, how God gave him to us. Now a new era opened in his childish mind. AS he grows on to greater maturity he cannot help wondering how the first man was made, how the trees, and the world came to be. He is no longer satisfied with the simple state ment that God made them. His eager mind wants to know, if may be, how God made them.

Excerpt from The A B C of Evolution During several years experience of lecturing on Evolution I have been more and more impressed with the need of a new primer of the subject. The lecturer or writer on Evolution is too apt to think that the elementary stage is passed. This is a mistake. The field of science is now so large and so thoroughly cut up into distinct plots that a man or woman may have quite a good knowledge of one section, yet need elementary assistance on a general subject like Evolution. The man who could teach me much about wireless telegraphy or chemistry asks me for the plainest possible instruction on Evolution. Moreover, there are other things to study besides science. There are art, literature, history, and political economy. And for most people there is much work to do, and little time to study anything. Hence I quite understand the demand for a very clear, elementary, and short text-book. There are several manuals in existence, and they have their merits; but they fail in one or other respect to meet the particular need I have in mind. Some are a little out of date. Some are too large. Some are not general enough. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Evolution: A Fantasy The author did more than this. To have stopped there would have been merely clever, merely the ex pression in poetic form of Darwin's Descent of Man, and his epic of Evolution far more than cleverness, it has the ring of genius. The crowning glory of Evolution is, perhaps, the manner in which he interwove throughout his master piece of imagination a golden thread of romance that becomes more and more lustrous as the story unfolds. He linked inseparably physical life and spiritual life, the so-called vital and eternal sparks, as, into the web of the lives that evolve, he wove the woof of love and brought them down through the ages together as one. For I loved you even then, he sings as he throws his soul back through the ages to the first vertebrates of the Paleozoic period. Ever together he pictures life by life, love by love, breath by breath. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Evolution Evolution in astronomy, from Kant to Lockyer; evolution in chemistry and physics, from Lucretius to the alchemists, and thence to Ramsay and his fellow-alchemists of to day; evolution in geology, from Leonardo and Palissy to Lyell and Darwin and onwards all these large retrospects of the history of science are needed for a grasp of cosmic evolution. Their impetus, their methods too, have once and again impelled the student of organic nature towards evolutionary inter pretations, and still do so; while the thought Of the physicist and Of the naturalist are in creasingly Oi interest and suggestion towards the distinctively human and social studies.

Excerpt from Organic Evolution Each chapter as it has been written has been referred to one or more of the author's colleagues for criticism, and, so far as possible, such criticisms have been met and suggested additions inserted. It is hoped that by so doing errors of fact have been in a measure eliminated; the final responsibility, however, lies with the author.
