COMMENTS FROM PRIVATE SCIENTIFIC SOURCES. 



"It 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.' 1 



[From John Fiske.] 



"I think your schedule attractive and valuable.' 1 



EVOLUTION: 



Popular Lectures and Discussions before the 

 Brooklyn Ethical Association. 



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

 religious, scientific and social matters, by well-read and cultivated gentlemen. 

 Scholarly and instructive ; we commend the book." — New 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." — lleligio- Philosophical Journal. 



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

 tended to spread 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." — 

 Brooklyn Citizen.
