The Historic Growth of Man

The Design. The Book of Life is a systematic statement of the constitution of man, or the laws of our spiritual, social and physical life. It includes not only the author's own extensive discoveries, but those of all great masters in this field of science. But this present edition is an abridgement, with only about one fourth of the complete volume.

The Historic Growth of Man

The human race has been marching upward from the first ages of history. Under what law has that mighty procession of the ages taken place? Science and history both answer that man has advanced, step by step, from the base and ignorant rule of his lower brain organs, upward to the beneficent dominion of his higher faculties. On a chart of the human head, with lines drawn from the base to the top, we may trace all those extended phases in the historic growth of man.
