Here it is : " Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." This may be all true, but it seems at best rather the blank form for a universe than anything corresponding... | |

...Mr. Fiske reproduces Spencer's doctrine of evolution, and adopts his famous definition, as follows: "Evolution is an integration of matter and concomitant...retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation." Of this definition much might be said. The word indefinite must not be taken strictly for that which... | |
