Excerpt from The Lesson of Evolution
The first of these essays was delivered at Hobart on the 8th January, 1902, as the inaugural address to the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science. As it was not possible to give in that address any adequate account of the facts of biological evolution, I have added the second essay, which deals entirely with that subject. Of this essay, the first part, on Early Life on the Earth, formed the President's address to the Geological Section of the same Association at its meeting in Sydney in January, 1898; but it has been corrected and brought up to date. The second part, on Later Life on the Earth, appears for the first time.
