Abstract
ONLY by the minutest study of that which is can finite man of a finite epoch hope to draw even the roughest sketch of the antecedent, or form the vaguest speculations as to the ultimate; the truth of the sketch and the soundness of the speculation increase or decrease in proportion to the knowledge acquired by the observer. Therefore we welcome a volume in which Prof. Lowell sets out a scheme of evolution which embodies a proper sequence of congruities and is based on the results of years of careful observation.
