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