Saleeby, Caleb Williams. Evolution the master key. *$2. Harper.
Instead of reducing “the many and ponderous volumes of the synthetic philosophy to brief and popular form,” the author attempts to justify his conviction “that the philosophy of universal and ordered change is far more easily demonstratable to-day than ever before,” and he proceeds with his demonstration “in the light of human knowledge in the first lustrum of the twentieth century.” His discussion falls into seven parts: General, Inorganic evolution, Organic evolution, Suborganic evolution, Evolution and optimism, Dissolution, and Evolution and the religion of the future.
“The work it is true exhibits certain defects perhaps unavoidable in so comprehensive a scheme. Some of the chapters are too brief to do anything like justice to the vast topics of which they treat.”
