THE EVOLUTION OF MAN.

THE

EVOLUTION OF MAN:

HIS RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS AND SOCIAL CUSTOMS.

BY

W. W. HARDWICKE, M.D.

"Whoever hesitates to utter that which he thinks the
highest truth, lest it should be too much in advance of the
time, may re-assure himself by looking at his acts from an
impersonal point of view. Let him duly realize the fact that
opinion is the agency through which character adapts external arrange-
ments to itself—that his opinion rightly forms part of this agency, is
a unit of force, constituting, with other such units, the general
power which works out social changes-and he will perceive
that he may properly give full utterance to his inmost con-
viction, leaving it to produce what effect it may."
-HERBERT SPENCER.
