Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Evolution
Evolution in astronomy, from Kant to Lockyer; evolution in chemistry and physics, from Lucretius to the alchemists, and thence to Ramsay and his fellow-alchemists of to day; evolution in geology, from Leonardo and Palissy to Lyell and Darwin and onwards all these large retrospects of the history of science are needed for a grasp of cosmic evolution. Their impetus, their methods too, have once and again impelled the student of organic nature towards evolutionary inter pretations, and still do so; while the thought Of the physicist and Of the naturalist are in creasingly Oi interest and suggestion towards the distinctively human and social studies.
