By ANDREW D. WHITE, LL.D., late President and
Professor of History at Cornell University.

"The story of the struggle of searchers after truth with the
organized forces of ignorance, bigotry, and superstition is
the most inspiring chapter in the whole history of mankind.
That story has never been better told than by the
ex-President of Cornell University in these two volumes....
A wonderful story it is that he tells."—London Daily
Chronicle.
"A literary event of prime importance is the appearance of
'A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in
Christendom.'"—Philadelphia Press.
"Such an honest and thorough treatment of the subject in all
its bearings that it will carry weight and be accepted as an
authority in tracing the process by which the scientific
method has come to be supreme in modern thought and
life."—Boston Herald.
"A great work of a great man upon great subjects, and will
always be a religio-scientific classic."—Chicago Evening
Post.
"It is graphic, lucid, even-tempered—never bitter nor
vindictive. No student of human progress should fail to read
these volumes. While they have about them the fascination of
a well-told tale, they are also crowded with the facts of
history that have had a tremendous bearing upon the
development of the race."—Brooklyn Eagle.
"The same liberal spirit that marked his public life is seen
in the pages of his book, giving it a zest and interest that
can not fail to secure for it hearty commendation and honest
praise."—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
"A conscientious summary of the body of learning to which it
relates accumulated during long years of research.... A
monument of industry."—N.Y. Evening Post.
"A work which constitutes in many ways the most instructive
review that has ever been written of the evolution of human
knowledge in its conflict with dogmatic belief.... As a
contribution to the literature of liberal thought, the book
is one the importance of which can not be easily
overrated."—Boston Beacon.
"The most valuable contribution that has yet been made to
the history of the conflicts between the theologists and the
scientists."—Buffalo Commercial.
"Undoubtedly the most exhaustive treatise which has been
written on this subject.... Able, scholarly, critical,
impartial in tone and exhaustive in treatment."—Boston
Advertiser.

A NEW BOOK BY PROF. GROOS.
THE PLAY OF MAN.
By KARL GROOS, Professor of Philosophy in the University of
Basel, and author of "The Play of Animals." Translated, with
the author's cooperation, by Elizabeth L. Baldwin, and
edited, with a Preface and Appendix, by Prof. J. Mark
Baldwin, of Princeton University. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50 net;
postage, 12 cents additional.
The results of Professor Groos's original and acute
investigations are of peculiar value to those who are
interested in psychology and sociology, and they are of
great importance to educators. He presents the
anthropological aspects of the subject treated in his
psychological study of the Play of Animals, which has
already become a classic. Professor Groos, who agrees with
the followers of Weismann, develops the great importance of
the child's play as tending to strengthen his inheritance in
the acquisition of adaptations to his environment. The
influence of play on character, and its relation to
education, are suggestively indicated. The playful
manifestations affecting the child himself and those
affecting his relations to others have been carefully
classified, and the reader is led from the simpler exercises
of the sensory apparatus through a variety of divisions to
inner imitations and social play. The biological, æsthetic,
ethical, and pedagogical standpoints receive much attention
from the investigator. While this book is an illuminating
contribution to scientific literature, it is of eminently
practical value. Its illustrations and lessons will be
studied and applied by educators, and the importance of this
original presentation of a most fertile subject will be
appreciated by parents as well as by those who are
interested as general students of sociological and
psychological themes.
