chief differences in the skeletons of the several domestic breeds cannot, he shows, have been derived from a cross with the hare. It is needless to say that on the subject of domestic pigeons our author is very full. Although we do not in the least know the origin of the common tumbler, we may suppose, he thinks, that a bird was born with some affection of the brain, leading it to make somersaults in the air; and he supports this hypothesis by what we know about pigeons in India before 1600

Our readers, therefore, will understand that it is from no want of appreciation of the importance of the problem that we refrain from a more lengthy discussion of Mr. Darwin's masterpiece of scientific essayism. Indeed, so difficult do we consider the effort to give a lucid exposition of the latest argument which Mr. Darwin advances, that we regret, for the sake

admirable to see the calmness and moderation (for which philosophical would be too low an epithet) with which the author handles his subject. If prejudice can be conciliated, it will surely be by a book like this. It consists of two parts. The first treats of the origin of man, his affinities to other animals, and the formation of the races (or sub-species) of the human family. Besides the obvious interest to all Mr. Darwin's readers of a discussion on the subject of their proper knowledge, naturalists

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 3 MR. DARWIN ON THE DESCENT OF MAN.* In these volumes, which have been expected with the greatest interest, Mr. Darwin has at once carried to the furthest possible extent his famous hypothesis of Natural Selection, and has developed for the first time an important supplement to that hypothesis. In his work on the Origin of Species, he maintained the theory that all Species, instead of having been independently created, and possessing an

which has been fully treated in many valuable works. To the action of Natural Selection, as explained in the well-known 'Origin of Species,' the author here adds an elaborate treatise on the influence of Sexual Selection, which indeed is the main characteristic of the present publication. With reference to natural selection Mr. Darwin now admits that he has probably attributed too much to this principle in the earlier editions of his 'Origin of Species.' He had not formerly sufficiently considered

In his earlier writings a certain reticence veiled, though it did not hide, his ultimate conclusions as to the origin of our own species; but now all possibility of misunderstanding or of a repetition of former disclaimers on the part of any disciple is at an end, and the entire and naked truth as to the logical consequences of Darwinism is displayed
