"An Expository Outline of the 'Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation'" by S. Laing is a scientific and philosophical analysis from the 1800s that digs into the controversial ideas in "Vestiges of Creation," a book that stirred up questions about how life began and changed over time, as well as how it relates to religion.

The author wants to carefully look at the book's most important ideas about evolution and how the world works.
