Mr. Fiske has long held rank as one of the most profound and exact of Ameri- 

 can thinkers, and his little monograph will serve to extend that deserved fame 

 among a class of readers who are not ordinarily interested in the literature of sci- 

 ence. Mr. Fiske's book is, in a word, a plea for faith in the immortality of man, 

 based on the doctrine of evolution. Boston Trartller. 



Mr. Fiske has given us in his " Destiny of Man " a most attractive condensation 

 of his views as expressed in his various other works. One is charmed by the di- 

 rectness and clearness of his style, his simple and pure English, and his evident 

 knowledge of his subject. ... Of one thing we may be sure, that none are lead- 

 ing us more surely or rapidly to the full truth than men like the author of this 

 little book, who reverently study the works of God for the lessons which he would 

 teach his children. Christian Union (New York). 



It is a remarkable contribution to the lUcrature of religious thought. . . . Tu 

 will prove that evolution is at least not irrnverent. ... It is packed full of learn- 

 ing and suggestion, in a style at once simple and beautiful, and is worth a dozer. 

 volumes of ordinary sermons. Philadelphia Press.
