NOTE
This volume contains a series of brief and attractive studies on current theories regarding the origin and history of the visible universe. The difficulties besetting cosmical doctrines of evolution are pointed out in them, and the expedients are described by which those difficulties have been met, though not wholly overcome. The widened possibilities connected with the new science of radiology, the unification of the physical forces that may ensue upon further discoveries concerning electrical action, the function in the world of the impalpable ether, the nature of gravity, are in turn discussed or adverted to; while the final chapter takes into consideration the crowning problem of life.
"These sixteen chapters are short studies on modern theories about the origin and mystery of the universe, by an astronomer whose writings have done much to help and popularise that science."—The Times.
