 Vernon Lyman Kellogg, M.S. Illustrated. Cloth, 

 2.50 net. 



This is a simple yet comprehensive summary of present- 

 day knowledge of the great subject of animal evolution. 

 It is an elementary discussion of facts, processes and 

 theories relating to the life and education of animals. The 

 information contained in this book is conveyed with the 

 maximum of charm and clarity, making the somewhat 

 awesome subject of evolution as interesting as romance. 

 The knowledge of the factors and phenomena of organic 

 evolution are presented in a condensed and fascinating way 

 for the general reader. 



The work not only embodies the theories and teachings 

 of Darwin, Huxley, Tyndall and Spencer, but Post- 

 Darwinian conception of humanity and the genealogy of 

 man. 



"This is the most satisfactory treatment of evolution that 

 teachers and students can find. Those whose school days ended 

 before evolution was universally taught need something reliable, 

 clear, and interesting upon the subject, and this book furnishes all 

 this. There is no better authority on the subject in this country, 

 probably, than President Jordan of Stanford University. No other 

 university president has the ear of the public more completely than 

 has he, and from no other could a treatise on this subject come 

 with the same appropriateness. The science is reliable, the literary 

 style attractive, and the spirit reverent." — Jotirnal of Education.
