This little brochure was written in reply to Weismann’s “Germinal Selection.” Prof. Eimer argues upon the same lines as the American Neo-Lamarckians, Cope, Hyatt, etc. His doctrine of orthogenesis, which he declares to be a universally valid law, has been framed to show that organisms develop in definite directions, without regard for utility, through purely physiological causes, through the transmission of acquired characters, through the combined agency of the constitution of the animal and the effects of outward influences.

Naegeli was the first to propose the general theory of cell-formation accepted to-day. The present little brochure, which is a synopsis of his great work on evolution, will render his difficult theories accessible to English-speaking students, to whom they have hitherto been almost a sealed book.

“It is a presentation of the subject for the general reader which is masterly, clear, and entertaining. A profound subject is thoroughly grasped; a technical subject is made plain; and a complex subject is made simple. I am especially delighted with it as a book for auxiliary reading in the High Schools and Colleges of the country.”—Major J. W. Powell, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.

“It affords more ground for serious thought and reflection than perhaps any of the works on bacteriology hitherto published. The original and able manner in which the author attacks biological problems of great difficulty and complexity deserves all praise, and we can cordially recommend the book, not only to bacteriologists pure and simple, but also to those physicians who recognize the limitations of medical science.”—Nature.

Devoted to the Science of Religion, The Religion of Scienceand the Extension of the Religious Parliament Idea.
Science is slowly but surely transforming the world.
Science is knowledge verified; it is Truth proved; and Truth will always conquer in the end.
The power of Science is irresistible.
Science is the still small voice; it is not profane, it is sacred; it is not human, it is superhuman; Science is a divine revelation.
Convinced of the religious significance of Science,The Open Courtbelieves that there is a holiness in scientific truth which is not as yet recognised in its full significance either by scientists or religious leaders. The scientific spirit, if it but be a genuine devotion to Truth, contains a remedy for many ills; it leads the way of conservative progress and comes not to destroy but to fulfil.
The Open Courton the one hand is devoted to theScience of Religion; it investigates the religious problems in the domain of philosophy, psychology, and history; and on the other hand advocates theReligion of Science. It believes that Science can work out a reform within the Churches that will preserve of religion all that is true, and good, and wholesome.

The Monistis a Quarterly Magazine, devoted to the Philosophy of Science. Each copy contains 160 pages; original articles, correspondence from foreign countries, discussions, and book reviews.
which is an application of the scientific method to philosophy.
The old philosophical systems were mere air castles (constructions of abstract theories,) built in the realm of pure thought. The Philosophy of Science is a systematisation of positive facts; it takes experience as its foundation, and uses the systematised formal relations of experience (mathematics, logic, etc.) as its method. It is opposed on the one hand to the dogmatism of groundlessa prioriassumptions, and on the other hand to the scepticism of negation which finds expression in the agnostic tendencies of to-day.
There may be different aspects and even contrasts, diverse views and opposite standpoints, but there can never be contradiction in truth.
Monism is not a one-substance theory, be it materialistic or spiritualistic or agnostic; it means simply and solelyconsistency.
All truths form one consistent system, and any dualism of irreconcilable statements indicates that there is a problem to be solved; there must be fault somewhere either in our reasoning or in our knowledge of facts. Science always implies Monism, i. e., a unitary world conception.
