10 INTRODUCTION. 



higher than science, he removes at once tlie rational 

 basis from religion and the legitimate crown from 

 science, forgetting that in so doing he offers to the 

 world an unnatural religion and an inhuman science. 

 The cure for all the small mental disorders which 

 spring up around restricted applications of Evolution 

 is to extend it fearlessly in all directions as far as the 

 mind can carry it and the facts allow, till each man, 

 working at his subordinate part, is compelled to own,

 assure him that Evolution has nothing to do with 

 those higher things, but the main reason Is simply that 

 his work does not lie on the levels where those forces 

 come into play. The specialist is not to be blamed for 

 this ; limitation is his strength. But when the special-
