Excursions of an Evolutionist (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Historian and philosopher John Fiske tried to reconcile orthodox religious beliefs with Darwin’s science, both on the lecture platform and in his collections of essays. Excursions of an Evolutionist is one such collection, eloquently written and containing such chapters as, “Europe Before the Arrival of Man,” “The Origins of Protestantism,” and “Evolution and Religion,” as well as a brief memoir of Charles Darwin.
