EVOLUTION AND ITS RELATION TO RELIGIOUS 

 THOUGHT. By Joseph Le Conte, LL. D., Professor of Geology 

 and Natural History in the University of California. With numer- 

 ous Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



" ]\ruch, verj' mucli has been written, especially on the nature and the evi- 

 dences of evolution, but the literature is eo voluminous, much of it so fragment- 

 ary, and most of it so technical, that even very intelligent persons have still very 

 vague ideas on the subject. I have attempted to give (1) a very concise account 

 of what we mean by evolution, (2) an outline of the evidences of its truth drawn 

 from many different sources, and (3) its relation to fundamental religious beliefs " 

 —Extract from Preface.

 the General Reader. By Joseph Le Conte, LL. D. With upward

 Professor Le Conte has given us a volume of great value as an exposition of the 

 subject, thoroughly up to date. The examples and applications of the work are 

 almost entn-ely derived from this country, so that it mav be properly considered 

 an American geology. We can commend this work without qualification to all

 full, authentic, the result of devoted study and of long experience in teaching."
