Part I. The Impact Theory of Stellar Evolution: Consideration of the facts which support the theory, and of the light which the theory appears to cast upon the facts; 1. Probable origin of meteorites; 2. Motion of the stars, how of such different velocities, and always in straight lines; 3. Motion of the stars not due to their mutual attractions; 4. Probable origin of comets; 5. Nebulae; 6. Binary systems; 7. Sudden outbursts of stars; 8. Star clusters; 9. Age of the sun’s heat - a crucial test; Part II. Evidence in Support of the Theory from the Age of the Sun’s Heat: Testimony of geology and biology as to the age of the sun’s heat; Testimony of geology - method employed; The average rate of denudation in the past probably not much greater than at the present; How the method has been applied; Method as applied by Professor Haughton; Method as applied by Mr Alfred R. Wallace; Method as applied directly; Evidence from ’faults’; Time required to effect the foregoing amount of denudation; Age of the earth as determined by the date of the glacial epochs; Testimony of biology; Part III. Evidence in Support of the Theory from the Pre-nebular Condition of the Universe: Professor A. Winchell on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Mr Charles Morris on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Sir William R. Grove on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Evolution of the chemical elements, and its relations to stellar evolution; Sir Benjamin Brodie on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Dr T. Sterry Hunt on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Professor Oliver Lodge on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Mr. William Crookes on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Professor F. W. Clarke on the pre-nebular condition of matter; Dr G.
