The Berlin Discussion of the Problem of Evolution: Full Report of the Lectures Given in February 1907, and of the Evening Discussion (Classic Reprint) by Erich Wasmann (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from The Berlin Discussion of the Problem of Evolution: Full Report of the Lectures Given in February 1907, and of the Evening Discussion An earnest desire has been expressed in various quarters that I should publish the lectures, which I delivered in Berlin in February 1907, and so render them accessible to those who did t actually hear them, and that I should append to them a report of the discussion to which they gave rise. I am the more ready to comply with this request as many persons who wished to hear the lectures in Berlin were unable to do so, all the tickets of admission having been sold a week before the delivery of the first lecture. In the meantime a little work by Dr. Burdinski has appeared, entitled 'The Struggle in Berlin regarding the Cosmic Position of Man: A detailed report of the lectures given by Father Wasmann, S.J., and of the evening discussion on them, with critical remarks.' Should, however, any one refer to this work for a full and impartial account of my lectures, he would be disappointed, and Dr. Burdinski's report of the evening discussion is still more unsatisfactory.
