[From Preface] The scope of the combined essays is of necessity very broad, ranging as it does from a conception of the universe to the trend of modern civilization. Thus the first chapter deals not alone with the genesis of the earth but of the parent solar system, and, the earth having been established, its history is traced until the time of its becoming a fit environment for the abode of life. The second lecture deals with the changing lines of demarcation between land and sea, the rise and growth of continents, the formation and severance of land-bridges, and the climatic changes which are recorded for geologic time. The physical environment once established, Professor Woodruff tells what we know and do not know of the origin of life. This is largely an academic discussion of the several theories which have been advanced to account for the evolution of lifeless into living matter, for from the nature of the problem evidences of direct observation are not available. The lecture on the pulse of life attempts to link up cause and effect; to find those forces which are responsible for the more or less rhythmic accelerations of evolution shown by the fossil record. The main cause is found to be climatic change, which in turn has as a chief controlling factor earth shrinkage and the consequent warping of the crust discussed in the second lecture. The pulse of life applies not alone to the evolution of animals and plants, but also to mankind. How climatic changes have influenced the growth of civilization and the formation of racial characteristics of mentality is set forth in the last lecture, that by Doctor Huntington. In so far as possible, these essays are the fruits of the original research of their several authors, which in certain instances are set forth here for the first time. The treatment of the entire subject and the marshaling of the facts thus assembled are entirely new.

Pictorial wrappers. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 3 very uncommon examples --in fact the first 3 issues-- of "The Open Road: A Saunterer's Chronicle", a rare 1905 literary magazine affirming --and very likely naming itself after-- Walt Whitman's 1855 "Song of the Open Road" (from "Leaves of Grass"). Intended as a bi-monthly publication and edited (and probably published) by Charles Wisner Barrell, sometimes editor of "Vagabondia" and an early specialist in the Ashcan School. We see no evidence that any more than 3 issues were published and we note that no copies can be found in the virtual world, including no holdings in WorldCat. These 3 issues have held up very nicely -- each is clean and sharp in its handsewn pictorial wrappers. The 3 issues are all 16mos and are housed in a handmade, hand-titled cardboard chemise, with the name and address label of Charles Wisner Barrell himself (suggesting these were the editor's/publisher's copies?) above the title. Vol. 2 features "John Burroughs on Slabsides" and Vol. 3 features "A Word on Forestry".
