Mr. Belloc objects to "The outline of history"
H. G. Wells
After Wells published “An Outline of History”, which was among the first comprehensive histories based on a scientific viewpoint, the Roman Catholic writer Hilaire Belloc fought back with a series of essays condemning the book, especially for omitting God and for his acceptance of evolution theory. “Mr. Belloc Objects to 'The Outline of History'” constitutes Wells' own literary retort, and is both entertaining and impressive. Contents include: “Mr. Belloc's Arts of Controversy”, “The Theory of Natural Selection Stated”, “Mr. Belloc as a Specimen Critic of Natural Selection”, “Mr. Belloc's Adventures Among the Sub-Men”, and “Fixity or Progress”.
