The proceeding of which I enclose the official record, may have some interest for you, as having been taken, on my motion, immediately after the deeply impressive scene in the Abbey on Wednesday last, by the representatives of a Religious body which claims for itself the character of not being

Most fortunately my paper had to give way to Mr. Darwin's, and when once that was read, I felt bound to defer mine for reconsideration. I began to entertain doubts on the subject, and on the appearance of the Origin of Species, I was forced, however reluctantly, to give up my long cherished convictions, the

I may mention, in explanation of them, that when he was good enough to send me his 'Origin of Species', I wrote to thank him for it as I had acquainted myself with the general drift of his arguments and had read the last chapter. He is quite correct in saying that I must have previously self-thought out the subject in some degree; the fact being that I had been early put on the track of the 'variability of species' by Dr Prichard, had given much attention to the

They created no stir except among scientists, for people at large did not know of their full significance. This paper was the prelude to the publication of the Origin of Species,'' the first edition of which is dated Nov. 24, 1859. It was a fire-brand thrown into a mass of inflammable material.

In him, if I may venture to refer so pointedly to a man yet living, were combined many high qualities—a courage which never faltered, an industry (*) The Quarterly Review made amends nine years later by printing an article on Geological Time and the Origin of Species, by Mr. Wallace, in which Natural Selection had fair-play.
