“If the other volumes in course of preparation by the professors in biology of Columbia University are up to the high standard of the present one (Amphioxus and the Ancestry of the Vertebrates), that institution is to be congratulated upon the enterprise of those who initiated the project.”—The American Naturalist (Philadelphia).
“The ‘Columbia University Biological Series’ is a new scientific publishing venture undertaken by Messrs. Macmillan & Co., under the general editorial supervision of Henry Fairfield Osborn. Numbers 1 and 2 of the series reach us, From the Greeks to Darwin, by H. F. Osborn, and Amphioxus and the Ancestry of the Vertebrates, by Arthur Willey. Judging from these volumes, the Columbia Biological Series will be of the utmost interest to students.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegram.
“The ‘Columbia University Biological Series,’ as inaugurated by the Macmillans, opens with a general review of the rise and progress of the evolution idea, from its first rudimentary perception by the Greek mind to the full development wrought out by Darwin.”—Milwaukee Sentinel.
