tion we have seen of the rise and history of the abstract Darwinian theories, combined with a critical explanation of their practical application."--_Observer, New York._ "The work is full of ingenious and subtle thought, and the author, who is evidently a sincere Christian, finds in Mr. Darwin's theories nothing inconsistent with the belief of the Scriptures."--_Bulletin, Philadelphia._ "I have carefully read the 'Theories of Darwin,' by Rudolf Schmid.
