DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The "Antiquity of Man" was published in 1863, and ran into a third edition in the course of that year. The cause of this is not far to seek. Darwin's "Origin of Species" appeared in 1859, only four years earlier, and rapidly had its effect in drawing attention to the great problem of the origin of living beings. The theories of Darwin and Wallace brought to a head and presented in a concrete shape the somewhat vague speculations as to development and evolution which had long been floating in the minds of naturalists.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Origin and Antiquity of Man There are two classes of writers who produce two very distinct classes of books. The first are trained to write, as the gladiators were trained to fight, and are the present champions of the prize-ring. Libraries and encyclopaedias are their weapons. The skilful use of these is their strength. They learn to polish periods, and write over other men's ideas, and by burnishing and varnishing, and a slight veneer of wording, present them so different that their authors do not recognize their own children. They do not write because they have any thing to say, but because there is honor and profit in the pen. The second class write because they have something to say. Libraries are of little benefit to them, and because of their originality, they are not encouraged by profit. I claim no skill in modelling sentences, or in the desirable art of presenting my subjects in their most pleasing forms; nor can I claim to belong to that class who have something worthy of record to say when they write.
