Evolutional Ethics and
Animal Psychology.
By E. P. EVANS , author of "Animal
Symbolism in Ecclesiastical Archi
tecture , " etc. , 12mo. Cloth , $1.75.
This book explains the evolution of
ethics , or the growth of rules of conduct
in primitive human societies.particularly
with reference to man's ideas regarding
the lower animals and his treatment of
them. The first part , on Evolutional
Ethics , discusses that conduct of tribal
society , the influence of religions belief
on it in the course of evolution , and
man's ethical relations to the animals ,
closing with a chapter on the doctrine of
Metempsychosis. The second part on
Animal Psychology , treats of manifesta
tions of mind in the brute as compared
with those in man , the possibility of
progress in the lower animals , their
powers of ideation , and speech as a
barrier between man and beast.
"The book is one of great interest , and
in style and treatment is addressed to a
popular clientele as a contribution to
the anthropological historyof the relation
of man to beast , it is alike valuable and
readable. " The Dial , Chicago.
"To all 'disinterested' lovers of
equity and of anecdote and gossip , this
book will be welcome. " The Nation ,
