NOTE 



THE demand for a new edition of "Evolution, Old 

 and New," gives me an opportunity of publishing 

 Butler's latest revision of his work. The second 

 edition of "Evolution, Old and New," which was 

 published in 1882 and re-issued with a new title- 

 page in 1890, was merely a re-issue of the first 

 edition with a new preface, an appendix, and an 

 index. At a later date, though I cannot say precisely 

 when, Butler revised the text of the book in view 

 of a future edition. The corrections that he made 

 are mainly verbal and do not, I think, affect the 

 argument to any considerable extent. Butler, how- 

 ever, attached sufficient importance to them to incur 

 the expense of having the stereos of more than fifty 

 pages cancelled and new stereos substituted. I have 

 also added a few entries to the index, which are taken 

 from a copy of the book, now in my possession, in 

 which Butler made a few manuscript notes.
