The plan of the book - taking the salient feature in each decade and making the chapter turn on that - precludes any full treatment of the earlier and later development. Only allusion is possible. It is no doubt a defect, but it seemed better to give in its due place a rather more adequate account of Darwin, than to attempt a complete summary of the develop ment of biological theories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
