Excerpt from The Evolution Theory, Vol. 1 of 2

The actual form of these lectures has developed as they were transcribed. But although the form is thus to some extent new, I have followed in the main the same train of thought as in the lectures of recent years. The lecture form has been adhered to in the book, not merely because of the greater vividness of presentation which it implies, but for many other reasons, of which the greater freedom in the choice of material and the limiting of quotation to a minimum are not the least. That all polemics of a personal kind have thus been excluded will not injure the book, but it is by no means lacking in discussions of opinion, and will, therefore, I trust, contribute something towards the clearing up of disputed points.
