About this Item

8vo. xviii, [2], 328, [2] pp. Index. Original green gilt-stamped cloth; small nick on spine. Embossed stamp of the Carnegie Institution, Mount Wilson Observatory; OWNERSHIP SIGNATURE OF GEORGE E. HALE, Dec. 1906. Very good. Mivart argues that because science is organized knowledge of natural phenomena acquired through the senses and interpreted by the intellect, its foundations must be sought within the human mind. / St. George Jackson Mivart FRS was an English biologist. He is famous for starting as an ardent believer in natural selection and later becoming one of its fiercest critics. Mivart attempted to reconcile the theory of evolution as propounded by Charles Darwin with the beliefs of the Catholic Church but was condemned by both Darwin and the Church.
