THE EVOLUTION THEORY. 



By AUGUST WEISMANN, 



PROFESSOR OF ZOOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF FREIBURG. 



Translated by J. ARTHUR THOMSON, 



PROFESSOR OF NATURAL HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. 



Two volumes, Royal 8vo. With many Illustrations. 325. net. 



The importance of this work is twofold. In the first place, it 

 sums up the teaching of one of Darwin's greatest successors, who has 

 been for many years a leader in biological progress. As Professor 

 Weismann has from time to time during the last quarter of a century 

 frankly altered some of his positions, this deliberate summing up of 

 his mature conclusions is very valuable. In the second place, as 

 the volumes discuss all the chief problems of organic evolution, they 

 form a trustworthy guide to the whole subject, and may be regarded 

 as furnishing what is much needed a Text-book of Evolution 

 Theory. The book takes the form of lectures, which are so 

 graduated that no one who follows their course can fail to under- 

 stand the most abstruse chapters. The translation has been revised 

 by the author.
