Item description from seller

First Edition. Original publisher's blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine. 5 1/2" x 7 3/4." 183 pages, complete. A few black-and-white illustrations, complete. Four additional pages in back advertise science books. Small bookseller's sticker tipped in on front free endpaper: "The Old Corner Book Store, Inc., Boston, Mass." Former owner's pencil signature in top margin of title page: "Lewis C. Carson." Pages are very clean and intact except for slight foxing, light age toning, the bookseller's sticker, and former owner's signature. Covers are very clean and intact except for slight darkening, slight wear to extremities, and a small red mark on spine affecting the "i" in "Evolution." A Very Good copy. This is a book about the theory of evolution by William Berryman Scott (1858-1947), an American paleontologist and Professor of Geology and Paleontology at Princeton University. Scott's book builds upon contemporary discussions about the theory of evolution. He wrote this book, in part, as a response to public skepticism about the theory of evolution and ongoing debates among men of science regarding the causes and modes of evolution. Contents are titled as follows: "Present Status of the Question," "Evidences for the Theory--Classification, Domestication and Comparative Anatomy," "Evidence from Embryology and Blood Tests," Evidence from Palaeontology," "Evidence from Geographical Distribution," and "Evidence from Experiment--Conclusion.".
