Modern Biology 



AND 



The Theory of Evolution 



Translated from the Third German Edition by 

 A. M. BUCHANAN, M.A. 



With 8 Plates and 54 Textual Illustrations. 



Extract from Preface : ' I have spoken as a Christian engaged in scientific 

 research, and I am firmly convinced that natural truth can never really 

 contradict supernatural revelation, because both proceed from one and the 

 same source, viz. the everlasting wisdom of God. Therefore the study of 

 modern biology and of the theory of descent, if carried 011 without prejudice, 

 can tend only to the glory of God.' 



' An interesting and valuable work, by a Jesuit Father, whose original work upon ants 

 in especial has made his name honoured wherever biologists are to be found. . . . The 

 book is one to read and possess, taking its own place, undoubtedly, in the biological 

 literature of our epoch.' Pall Mall Gazette. 



' Will be welcomed by Catholic students in the realm of biology. Father Wasmann has 

 made all knowledge in that sphere his own.' Catholic Times. 



' Father Wasmann's book has attracted great attention both among scientists and the 

 public, Catholic and anti-Catholic, in Germany . . . his exposition of modern biology is 

 confessed by his critics to be admirable. As a proof that the Jesuit controversialist has 

 not lost his ancient skill in dialectics the book is indiibitable." Saturday Review. 



' The book is exceedingly interesting and has considerable scientific value, for Father 

 Wasmann is not only an able and courteous controversialist, but is also a zoologist of no 

 mean ability.' Oittloofc.

The Problem of Evolution 



Being a full Report of the Lectures given in Berlin in February, 

 1907, and of the Discussion thereon. 



Authorised Translation. 



'From cover to cover the book is an intellectual treat.' Catholic Times. 



' The lectures are interesting as a lucid statement of the position taken by the Roman 

 Catholics as to the bearing of evolution on Theism and Atheism.' Scotsman. 



' The learned Jesuit is both a philosopher and a zoologist . . . We recommend all who 

 are interested in the philosophic aspects of scientific research to read Father Wasmann's 

 able defence of the Theistic evolution.' Downside Review.
