PREFACE. 



Having been for many years a teacher of various 

 branches of natural science, it has been my duty to 

 discuss the subject of organic evolution. This vol- 

 ume contains some of the objections which I have 

 from time to time presented against the acceptance 

 of. that theory, together with several chapters on 



other subjects.
