A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

This booklet had its origin in a paper on The Influence of Darwin on the Mental and Moral Sciences prepared by request for the Darwin Celebration of the American Philosophical Society, April 23, 1909.The paper was not presented at the meeting on account of my necessary absence from the country. Being greatly interested in the subject, how ever, I revised the manuscript on a larger scale, still adhering strictly to the original topic, with the result here set down. The book is still no more than an outline or sketch; butl have endeavored to make the successive points plain; and possibly the whole may be found clearer and more effective from its brief and succinct mode of presentation. The subject is very attractive; its treatment should also prove useful. The numerous celebrations which the double anniversary of Charles Darwins birth and the publication of the Origin of Species has inspired, have resulted in many statements of Darwins influence in the Biological Sciences.11 Of recent publications the following are due to the occasion of this dual anniversary: Fifty Years of Darwinism, by several authors, papers prepared for the celebration of the Amer. Assn. for the Adv. of Science, New York, Holt, 1909; Darwinism and Modern Science, a collection of papers prepared by Cambridge University, the University Press, 1909; Linnaan Society of London, Darwin-Wallace Celebration, July i, 1908; Proceedings of the Celebration of the Amer. Philosoph. Society, April 23, 1909;The Psychological Review, Darwin Number, devoted to Darwins influence on the Humanities, May, 1909, Review Pub. Co., Balti more, Poulton The Centenary of Darwin, Quarterly Review, July, 1909, and Charles Darwin and the Origin of Species, addresses, etc., Longmans, 1909.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
