Excerpt from Organ and Function: A Study of Evolution

A preface is customary, usually unnecessary and always an annoyance. In conclusion, then, let me say, if I were to express my admiration for those naturalists whose views I have ven tured to criticise I must write another chapter, and if I acknowledged my indebtedness to them I should be bankrupt of thanks.

Excerpt from Organ and Function: A Study of Evolution

Definition is important and needs illustration. Automatic evolution is the production of form and order in nature by the action of force upon inert matter. One virtue this definition of the subject has in common with all others is that it has no content. Apparently we have the sides of a box without top or bot tom. What is matter? and what is nature? Also there is mental action without ascertained conditions. It is the train not the land scape which rushes along at sixty miles an hour.

Automatic evolution is the hope of research. One grand dynamic movement throughout the one visible universe and one principle for the understanding, involving as well the action of the mind, prepossesses the imagination. Re search is bound to find the immediate, material cause of each event. Each unexplained item is set aside in the hope that further inquiry may solve the remaining difficulty. The practice of setting aside becomes a habit.
