well as the results of the struggle for existence, and the bearing of natural selection. In a third and last the principle of natural selection is to be tested by its application to widely diverse phenomena, the different modes of life manifested within geological time, its distribution both in past and present time, and the affinities and homologies that it presents. We heartily wish Mr. Darwin God-speed in carrying to its completion this gigantic task. Before we discuss the relation between

For four centuries after this no mention is made of the animal, and if not extinct in Germany it must have become

, when crossed with species inhabiting distant quarters of the world, to produce hybrids resembling in their stripes, not their own parents, but other species of the genus. To admit this view is, as it seems to me, to reject a real for an unreal, or at least for an unknown, cause. It makes the works of God a mere mockery and deception; I would almost as soon believe with the old and ignorant cosmogonists, that fossil shells had never lived, but had been created in stone so as to mock the shells

does not seem an improbable conclusion that all force may be will-force; and thus, that the whole universe, is not merely dependent on, but actually is, the WILL of higher intelligences or of one Supreme Intelligence. It has been often said that the true poet is a seer; and in the noble verse of an American poetess, we find expressed, what may prove to be the highest fact of science, the noblest truth of philosophy: God of the Granite and the Rose!

, associated with complete submission, some fear, and perhaps other feelings. The behaviour of a dog when returning to his master after an absence, and, as I may add, of a monkey to his beloved keeper, is widely different from that towards their fellows. In the latter case the transports of joy appear to be somewhat less, and the sense of equality is shewn in every action. Professor Braubach55 goes so far as to maintain that a dog looks on his master as on a god. The same high mental faculties which

point in the long pedigree man ceased to be mortal, and became immortal. This amazing transition from the finite to the infinite must have taken place at an indivisible instant, for there is no intermediate. And so, in contradiction to Mr. Darwin's statement that there was no time in which man became man, we may positively say man became man in the twinkling of an eye. There was a moment when man was formed, in the highest sense, in the image of God; as the son of Sirach says, in the image of

Fuegians believed in what we should call a God, or practised any religious rites; and Jemmy Button, with justifiable pride, stoutly maintained that there was no devil in his land. This latter assertion is the more remarkable, as with savages the belief in bad spirits is far more common than the belief in good spirits. F 2 [page] 6

yet that the thought of fashioning a stone into a tool was quite beyond his scope. Still less, as he would admit, could he follow out a train of metaphysical reasoning, or solve a mathematical problem, or reflect on God, or admire a grand natural scene. Some apes, however, would probably declare that they could and did admire the beauty of the coloured skin and fur of their partners in marriage. They would admit, that though they could make other apes understand by cries some of their

considerable advance in the reasoning powers of man, and from a still greater advance in his faculties of imagination, curiosity and wonder. I am aware that the assumed instinctive belief in God has been used by many persons as an argument for His existence. But this is a rash argument, as we should thus be compelled to believe in the existence of many cruel and malignant spirits, possessing only a little more power than man; for the belief in them is far more general than of a beneficent

. This spirit of blasphemy is illustrated by the very title of a Darwinian book quoted (by Darwin) by Dr. Barrago Francesco: Man, made in the image of God, is made also in the image of the ape. Darwin's spirit is reverent; he maintains the transcendental nature of conscience; and, if we rightly understand him, the immortality of man. Mr. Darwin traces the human animal to the Old World ape, finding his probable residence in Africa. Thence through the lemur, down through bird and fish, to some low

Canestrini has published ('Annuario della Soc. d. Nat.,' Modena, 1867, p. 81) a very curious paper on rudimentary characters, as bearing on the origin of man. Another work has (1869) been published by Dr. Barrago Francesco, bearing in Italian the title of Man, made in the image of God, was also made in the image of the ape

What is life? Mr. Darwin's hunt among the varying characteristics of species leaves this agency – life – as all-potent and mysterious as it was left by Moses, when he described it as the breathing of God into form made of the dust of the earth, thereby producing living soul.

Memory and curiosity, jealousy and friendship, and even the power of correct reasoning, and of communication by sounds, are shown to belong to many of the lower animals, while the faculty of reflection and self-consciousness, and the ennobling belief in the existence of an Omnipotent God, cannot be ascribed to the lowest tribes of the human family.
