"The publication of the series of essays on Evolution, delivered under the auspices of the Brooklyn Ethical Association, is undertaken in response to a general and increasing demand for a correct statement, in popular form, of the leading ideas, inferences and tendencies involved in the acceptance of the Evolution Philosophy, together with a clear statement of the main lines of evidence or proof by which the conception of Evolution is sustained.. The different phases of the subject are treated in this series in a certain natural order of succession, which the student and reader will do well to follow in the perusal of the lectures." [Preface].
