This book contains six classic articles on the subject of structure in
animal life, being a selection of essays exploring the relationship
between natural history and the idea of God. Although old and largely
scientifically out-dated, the information contained within these essays
will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in the
development of scientific thought, especially in relation to religion.
Contents include: "Four Different Plans of Structure Among Animals",
"Religion and Natural History", "Remote Antiquity of Animal Life as
Shown in he Coral Reefs", "Physical History of the Earth.--Man the
Ultimate Object", "Triple Coincidence in the Succession, Graduation, and
Growth of Animals", and "Evidence of an Intelligent and Constantly
Creative Mind in the Plans and Variations of Structure". Many vintage
books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with its original artwork and text. First published in
1882.
