Foot-Notes to Evolution. 



A Series of Popular Addresses on the Evolution of Life. By David Starr Jordan, Ph. D., 

 President of Leland Stanford Junior University. i2mo. Cloth, $1.75. 



" With great clearness, and with fine selection of illustrative material, Dr. Jordan . . . develops the salient 

 features of Darwin's theory. In fact, by his method and his style he makes a difficult subject very easy 

 of comprehension, and he shows better than any other writer of the period the transformation which evolution 

 has wrought in the mental and moral as well as the physical sciences. . . . Through all the chapters run the 

 great lessons of sustained effort, self-control, love of truth, and pursuit of high ideals. ... Dr. Jordan is 

 especially emphatic in his plea for the fullest development of men and women, for the strongest individualism, 

 for the pursuit of those noble ideals that alone make life worth living. And no one can read these chapters 

 without feeling the stimulus of that high endeavor which has given them expression." — San Francisco Chronicle.

 the Mine," and "The Story of the Indian." i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



" The story of the railroad of the West is here in all its aspects, with all its wondrous wealth of results, the 

 magnitude of what it achieved ; and the engineer is here, too, the man who triumphed over insurmountable 

 difficulties — the keystone of the building of the West. The book is full of the life and anecdote of the construc- 

 tion camp and the railroad yard, and of life on mountain, stream, and plain. Himself a railroad man for many 

 years, Mr. Warman has felt and reproduced our common humanity in all these busy workers. . . . He has 

 succeeded in a most difficult task ; while giving a clear, economic history of the transcontinental railroads, he 

 has managed with equal skill to make the human element predominate in his pages."— The Critic.
