PIONEERS OF E VOL UTION, from Tkaies to 



ley. By EDWARD CLODD, President of the Folk-Lore 

 Society ; Author of " The Story of Creation," " The Story 

 of ' Primitive' Man," etc. With Portraits. 12010. Cloth, 

 $1.50. 



" The mass of interesting material which Mr. Clodd has got together 

 and woven into a symmetrical story of the progress from ignorance and 

 theory to knowledge and the intelligent recording of fact is prodigious. . . . 

 The ' goal ' to which Mr. Clodd leads us in so masterly a fashion is but the 

 starting point of fresh achievements, and, in due course, fresh theories. His 

 book furnishes an important contribution to a liberal education." London 

 Daily Chronicle. 



" We are always glad to meet Mr. Clodd. He is never dull ; he is 

 always well informed, and he says what he has to say with clearness and 

 precision. . , . The interest intensifies as Mr. Clodd attempts to show the 

 part really played in the growth of the doctrine of evolution by men like 

 Wallace, Darwin, Huxley, and Spencer. . . . We commend the book to 

 those who want to know what evolution really means." London Times. 



" This is a book which was needed. . . . Altogether, the book could 

 hardly be better done. It is luminous, lucid, orderly, and temperate. 

 Above all, it is entirely free from personal partisanship. Each chief actor 

 is sympathetically treated, and friendship is seldom or never allowed to 

 overweight sound judgment." London Academy. 



" We can assure the reader that he will find in this work a very useful 

 guide to the lives and labors of leading evolutionists of the past and present. 

 Especially serviceable is the account of Mr. Herbert Spencer and his share 

 in rediscovering evolution, and illustrating its relations to the whole field of 

 human knowledge. His forcible style and wealth of metaphor make all 

 that Mr. Clodd writes arrestive and interesting." London Literary 

 World. 



" Can not but prove welcome to fair-minded men. ... To read it is to 

 have an object-lesson in the meaning of evolution. . . . There is no better 

 book on the subject for the general reader. . . . No one could go through 

 the book without being both refreshed and newly instructed by its masterly 

 survey of the growth of the most powerful idea of modern times." The 

 Scotsman. _ _
