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

 can thinkers, :uvl his little moiiogviiph svill serve to extend that deserved fame 

 among a clu.-s of readers who aru not ordinarily interested in the literature of sci- 

 rncp. Mr. Fiskes book is, in a word, a plea for faith in the immortality of man, 

 based on the doctrine of evolution. — Boston Traveller. 



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

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

 rectnes.f and clearness of his style, his siinple 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 literature of religious thought. . . . Tt 

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

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

 volumes of ordinary sermons. — Philadelphia Press.
