Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Darwin's theory of evolution generated a storm of controversy
within the scientific community in the later nineteenth century,
and Sir J. William Dawson, a renowned geologist of his time, was
one of those who vehemently opposed it. In Modern Ideas of
Evolution as related to Revelation and Science, first published in
1890, Dawson maintains that it is religion alone that forms a
stable base for all new ideas. He dismisses the theory of evolution
as a crude and heretical hypothesis, inconsistent with religion and
undeserving of acceptance. If adopted as proven truth, he argues,
it would lead to unscientific and unspiritual degeneration of the
mind. More than a century later, evolution is generally accepted
but still not 'proven', and the debates continue. Dawson's
energetic polemic remains a key document for historians of science
concerned with the Victorian reception of Darwinism and the rise of
evolutionary theory.
