E. RAY LANKESTER’S THE KINGDOM OF MAN
“Nature’s Insurgent Son”; “The Advance of Science—1881–1906”; “Nature’s Revenges—The Sleeping Sickness.” $1.40 net; by mail, $1.52.
A readable and pictorial survey, brief but nevertheless accurate, of the recent progress in the many branches of science—all leading towards the realization of man’s kingdom—the conquest and control of nature.
H. I. Brock in a three-column notice in the New York Times Saturday Review.—An impressive statement of human progress in knowledge and power by a conservative scientist who believes man soon able to eliminate disease ... exceedingly interesting ... it gathers into a very small compass and presents sharply to the layman an immensely impressive set of facts and ideas.
