Articles liés à The Struggle Between Science And Superstition
Présentation de l'éditeur
This little book is the seventh volume to make its appearance as the result of the lecture courses delivered at the Garrick theater during the last nine years. I ts theme is taken from the course of sixteen lectures on the same subject delivered in the season of 1914-15. I trust that this modest narrative will meet with as generous a reception as its half dozen predecessors. There is no lack of evidence that in this country in the coming years there will be a keen and bitter struggle between the representatives of superstition and the champions of social progress. This little book is intended to serve as a weapon in the hands of the latter. My reason for writing it is, that most of the books covering this field, such as Draper s Inp tellectual Development of Europe and White s History of the Warfare of Science with Theology, are expensive and therefore almost inaccessible to the general public. In overcoming this difficulty and furnishing what I hope will be an introduction and inducement to the study of the larger works, I hope to have aided the cause which they so valiantly served.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
