Excerpt from The Struggle Between Science and Superstition This little book is the seventh volume to make its appearance as the result of the lecture courses delivered at the Garrick theater during the last nine years. Its theme is taken from the course of sixteen lectures on the same subject delivered in the season of 1914-15. I trust that this modest narrative will meet with as generous a reception as its half dozen predecessors. There is no lack of evidence that in this country in the coming years there will be a keen and bitter struggle between the representatives of superstition and the champions of social progress. This little book is intended to serve as a weapon in the hands of the latter. My reason for writing it is, that most of the books covering this field, such as Draper's "Intellectual Development of Europe" and White's "History of the Warfare of Science with Theology, " are expensive and therefore almost inaccessible to the general public. In overcoming this difficulty and furnishing what I hope will be an introduction and inducement to the study of the larger works, I hope to have aided the cause which they so valiantly served.
