Excerpt from Evolution in the Past
In the following pages I have endeavoured to give in nontechnical language, and in some detail, an account of ancient life as now known and understood. The wider and increasing interest in the subject is, no doubt, in part owing to many recent discoveries of important fossil remains. The whole subject, however, became invested with a new interest as soon as it came to be recognised that all modem life has been evolved, step by step, from the life of the past.
The material for bringing ancient life into view is, it must be admitted, still sadly deficient. Much - and of the highest value - has been lost; but, thanks to the labours of hosts of workers, much has been recovered. Thousands and thousands of extinct species of life-forms are now recorded; and had these not been described and classified, the student might well have been bewildered at their multiplicity.
Fortunately for him such works as Zittel's "Text Book of Palæontology," Nicholson and Lydekker's "Manual of Palæontology," and Arthur Smith Woodward's "Vertebrate Palæontology" have come to his rescue. These books represent a prodigious amount of difficult work conscientiously and ably performed; and they are indispensable to anyone who seeks to tell the story of life through past ages.
I would also acknowledge great assistance received from the various Catalogues and Guide Books dealing with fossil life, which have been issued by the Trustees of the British Museum. These valuable publications are especially helpful to an understanding and appreciation of the vast collections in the Natural History Museum.
