Abstract
THIS small volume has been formed by collecting together a number of Jaeger's brief essays on various important subjects. They are classified under three headings as Zoological, Anthropological, and Varia. The essays are highly ambitious, and lay down the law upon matters of the deepest difficulty with commendable brevity. Thus the fourteen zoological essays range from “The Origin and Development of the First Organisms” and “The Origin of Species” to “Inheritance,” “The Animal Soul,” and “The Development of the Vertebrate Type,” and altogether occupy eighty-three pages. The essays classed as anthropological deal chiefly with the author's pronounced views on physiological processes, infection, immunity, constitutional strength, &c.
