By 1854 Huxley had three appointments to important lectureships, and had been made naturalist of the Coast Survey.

Lyell would not commit himself in print. Every opponent of Darwin could cite Lyell's words of 1863 to prove that Lyell still believed in the separate creation of species. Lyell had not even said explicitly that he meant creation by natural law; he still left his readers free to infer that creation meant miraculous intervention by God in the operations of natural laws. No wonder that Darwin exploded in a letter to Gray (May 11, 1863): I have sometimes almost wished that Lyell had pronounced

But when Judd asserts that Lyell's creation by natural causes is a process of deriving one species from another, I appeal to Lyell's extended argument in Volume II.
