No one will question the dlstlnctnesS OF tne
position assumed, however much it may be de-
sired to overthrow the pitiless logic which the
author brings TO his support-the logic of es'
tablished facts He essays to present the whole
rsmified and complicated problem OF the doc :
trine of Descent and its foundation by OAR
win, so as to enable the reader to understand
Its cardinal points, restricting himself, how
ever. to the animal world. He takes immedi-
ate and strong ground against dualism. He
then proceeds to present his foundation for the
theory of derivation or descent, for the doc
trine of the gradual and direct development
of the higher and now existing organisms from
Iower ancestral forms-in short, for the doc
tr;ne of the continuity of lfe-by giving a
v,rvev of the animal forms now spread over
the earth; and he holds that as the doctrine
includes all life, it cannot stop on approaching
man.
In succeeding chapters DarwiDism is gradu
ally developed until we arrive at the question
of the origin of language and the antiquity Oh
man. The closely constructed argument ID
illustrated throughout by hosts of facts which
are beyond dispute. OF course as to the per-
instability of the differences drawn from these
facts there will be differences of opinion. 1t
cannot however he denied that Prof. Schmidt
has framed very strong argument. Its
strength is in part dependent upon the temper
of the authors mind. He is not afraid to pur-
sue his theories to their logical consequences,
and therefore has to waste no time aud ma
terial and ingenuity In concealing or lodging
certain points which have about them rank
favor of materialism. His researches lead
him to this conclusion, with which he closes
his last chapter, whether the primitive man
be found or not, his origin is certain"
The work is admirably written, is entertain
ing in style and interesting in matter, and will
take rank as an authoritative and exception
ally strong exposition of the doctrine of De-
scent. 1t cannot fail TO add to the already
high reputation of the International Scientific
Series, and will very likely have what they call
in the theatres "a long rum
