Abstract
(1) THOSE who had the privilege of listening A to the three lectures given by Prof. H. S. Jennings in Yale University, and now published in book form, must have found that his closely-woven argument demanded their keenest attention. “The purpose of these lectures”. Prof. Jennings has written, “will be to show what positive outlook on life and the world is given by the study of biological science; and how this differs, if at all, from the outlook based on physics”. In brief, these lectures represent the creed of one who is rightly regarded as one of the outstanding biologists of our time.
