COMMENTS FROM PRIVATE SCIENTIFIC SOURCES. 



"Ji is a book not to be lightly passed over, indicating almost a 

 new epoch in the evolution propaganda.'''' 



" The book is A BOOK. It is unique. I do not believe there is any 

 other such book, nor that there will be. It will universally take. 

 Only a few glances at it are required, and then the expressions of 

 astonishment and interest follow.'''' 



[From Herbert Spencer.] 



"The mode of presentation seems to me admirably adapted for 

 popularizing Evolution views." 



[From John Fiske.] 



"I think your schedule attractive and valuable."

Popular Lectures and Discussions before the 

 Brooklyn Ethical Association. 



"A collection of essays, exhibiting the doctrine of Evolution as applied to 

 religious, scientitic and social matters, l)y well-read and cultivated gentlemen. 

 Scholarly and instructive ; we commend the book." Keiv York Sun. 



"Among all these papers there is not one that is weak, commonplace or un- 

 interesting. They are all full of thought, presented in clear language, and in 

 an "admirable spirit." llcUgio- Philosophical Journal. 



"Extremely entertaining and instructive, . . . the book is especially in- 

 tended to S]^)read a knowledge of the views of the masters of the Evolution 

 theory, making a smooth, even path for the ordinary mind to move forward 

 on, so that the general comprehension of the subject may be made easy."
