DARWINISM. An Exposition of the Theory of Natural Selection, with some of its Applications. By the same Author. Illustrated.

SATURDAY REVIEW—"... Mr. Wallace's volume may be taken as a faithful exposition of what Darwin meant. It is written with perfect clearness, with a simple beauty and attractiveness of style not common to scientific works, with a dignity and freedom from anything like personal bitterness worthy of Darwin himself, and with an orderliness and completeness that must render misconception impossible."

ATHENÆUM—"Mr. Wallace adds so much that is new, and he writes in so charming and simple a style, that his readers more than he are to be congratulated on the latest service he has rendered to the science he has served so well...."

SCOTSMAN—"... There can be only one opinion of the great mental grasp and ingenuity, the lucidity of view, and the brilliancy of exposition displayed by him in going over this immense and profound field of inquiry."

MANCHESTER EXAMINER—"A singularly useful and timely contribution to the higher literature of popular science.... It has the weight and interest which are given by unwearying research, patient investigation, and shrewd vigorous thought."

CAMBRIDGE REVIEW—"It is a work of the most admirable lucidity, and it may be recommended as a charming one to the general reader. So many new facts and arguments have been discovered since the publication of the Origin of Species, that the work should also be studied by the scientific specialist.... The final chapters on man are deeply interesting."
