I nT TE 0D UC T10 NT he Science of Evil the author places before the public That Evil should claim the dignity of Science, will, doubtless, appear absurd to some; it will startle others, and a few will start back in holy horror at the thought.

Evil has long bewildered the thinking world. Why Evil is? has long been a complex question. Since the dawn of history a theological notion has embraced a scientific fact; and the myths of the ages have added to the complexity. It is thusmany hypotheses have been put forth to account for it. The early mind struggling for truth, seized a fact of Nature, and dressing it in a mythical garb, passed it down in song to the world.

They are the harbingers of Science; the nursery songs of the worlds
