1908. Lewis writes in the Preface: The contents of this volume
consist of the first ten lectures of the thirty-five in the Winter
course of 1907-08. They were delivered in the Garrick Theater,
Chicago, on Sunday mornings to crowded houses. On several occasions
half as many people were turned away as managed to get in. If these
lectures meet with as warm a reception when read as they did when
heard, I shall be more than satisfied. For a fuller discussion of
the Greek period, briefly dealt with in the first lecture, see
Edward Clodd's Pioneers of Evolution to which work the early part
of this lecture is greatly indebted. Every lecture proceeds on the
assumption, that a knowledge of the natural sciences, and
especially the great revolutionizing generalizations which they
have revealed, is indispensable. Contents: Thales to Linnaeus;
Linnaeus to Lamarck; Darwin's Natural Selection; Weismann's Theory
of Heredity; De Vries' Mutation; Kropotkin's Mutual Aid; A Reply to
Haeckel; Spencer's Social Organism; Spencer's Individualism; and
Civilization-Ward and Dietzgen. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.

"This discussion treats an important question that has received no
specific and thorough examination elsewhere, notwithstanding is
gravity. Mr. Darrow is probably the foremost of the American
representatives of the non-resistance theory, and his case is
stated in these pages more pointedly and forcibly than in any of
his published works. The arguments launched against Mr. Darrow
will, I think, satisfy the opponents of the non-resistance
philosophy."Arthur M. LewisEditor, "The Evolutionist" magazineMarch
