Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Four books published between 1890 and 1893 by S. (Samuel) Laing for Chapman and Hall, London. Human Origins from 1892 appears to be a first edition (print run of 1,500) while the other three volumes are clearly stated as later editions in which each edition consisted of 1,000 volumes. The f…our backs match in terms of layout, design, typeface and ornamentation with the exception of the color of the cloth covers: black, navy blue, brown and maroon. Laing, born in 1812, is described by Wikipedia as a British railway administrator, politician and writer on science and religion. Wikipedia: "In later life, he became well known as an author, his Modern Science and Modern Thought (1885), Problems of the Future (1889) and Human Origins (1892) being widely read, not only by reason of the writer's influential position, experience of affairs and clear style, but also through their popular and at the same time well-informed treatment of the scientific problems of the day. Laing's attitude was generally positive towards new developments in science, and he offered an optimistic vision of progressive modernity. He also wrote on religion. His book A Modern Zoroastrian argued that the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism was more consistent with modern scientific thought than was traditional Christianity. He argued that the "all pervading principle of polarity" that was central Zoroastrian thought has been confirmed by science, and that modern Christianity should abandon its traditional theology to centre on the figure of Jesus as an ideal of humanity.".
