Item description from seller

First Edition. Original publisher's red cloth binding with black lettering on front cover and spine. 4 1/2" x 6 1/2." 186 pages, complete. Black-and-white illustrations, complete. Index in back. Five additional pages in back advertise other books about evolution and the sciences. Former owner's black ink signature in top margin of title page: "Lewis C. Carson." Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning, small occasional marks, slight darkening and foxing limited to edges of text block, and the former owner's signature. Covers are very clean and intact except for darkening (most noticeable on spine), slight wear to extremities, and a subtle upward bend when laid flat. A Very Good copy. This is an introductory textbook about the theory of evolution by Edward Clodd (1840-1930), an American anthropologist, banker, and author. He was a personal friend of Thomas Huxley, an English biologist and anthropologist who advocated for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The contents are titled as follows: "The Contents of the Universe," "The Distribution of Matter," "The Solar System," "The Earth: Its Past Life-History," "Present Life-Forms," "The Becoming and Growth of the Universe," "The Origin of Life," "The Origin of Life-Forms," "The Origin of Species," "Proofs of Derivation of Species," and "Social Evolution.".…
