"In this excellent translation of Professor Haeckel's work, the
English reader has access to the latest doctrines of the Continental
school of evolution, in its application to the history of man. It is
in Germany, beyond any other European country, that the impulse given
by Darwin twenty years ago to the theory of evolution has influenced
the whole tenor of philosophical opinion. There may be, and are,
differences in the degree to which the doctrine may be held capable
of extension into the domain of mind and morals; but there is no
denying, in scientific circles at least, that as regards the physical
history of organic nature much has been done toward making good a
continuous scheme of being."--_London Saturday Review_.
=FREEDOM IN SCIENCE AND TEACHING.= From the German of Ernst Haeckel.
With a Prefatory Note by T. H. Huxley, F. R. S. 12mo. $1.00.
