Description:
First edition. A large proportion of the essays included in this book had previously been published in the Fortnightly Review and Nineteenth Century. Topics covered include palaeontology, evolution, science and morals, agnosticism, etc. 'Most of the Essays comprised in the present volume have been written during the last six or seven years, without premeditated purpose or intentional connection, in reply to attacks upon doctrines which I hold to be well founded; or in refutation of allegations respecting matters lying within the province of natural knowledge, which I believe to be erroneous; and they bear the mark of their origin in the controversial tone which pervades them.' - Prologue.
