Abstract
(1) MR. HALDANE has been known for some time VA to his acquaintances as a man of encyclopædic knowledge and portentous versatility, as well as of high scientific attainment; but this little book is his first public venture outside the covers of scientific journals. It is an amplification of a paper read before the Heretics Club in Cambridge; even allowing for the expansion, the paper must have provided a “crowded hour of glorious life”!
