just taken a situation, I can never be thankful enough that Mrs does not know a word of French or German, so that the poor little woman's shortcomings will not be perceived I trust. In 1859 the Origin of Species was published, and my father got terribly overdone and ill. My mother helped him with all the proof-sheets for the first edition, reading and correcting them. When the book was finally off his hands he went to the water-cure establishment at Ilkley and we followed on Oct. 17th. It was a

I am afraid that he will make too much of the supposed corroboration afforded by the imaginary warmth of the southern hemisphere, and of the equally hypothetical expulsion of tropical forms from the equatorial zone north of the line. In the sixth edition of The Origin, published three years later, Darwin still held to his views of the extreme severity of the glacial epoch influencing even the equatorial zone, and explaining the transmission of so many northern types of plants and insects to the

A considerable part of this article was devoted to a discussion of Mr. Crolls explanation of the glacial epoch, and, by a combination of his views with those of Lyell on the great effect of changed distribution of sea and land, or of differences in altitude, I showed

by means of muscle-reading, although in his letter to Darwin he had declared that his mental questions had been answered. But a cause of difference on a scientific question had since arisen between Romanes and myself which led to complicacation. In 1886 he read a paper to the Linnean Society, which was printed in their Journal, entitled Physiological Selection: an additional suggestion on the Origin of Species.

The following passage on pp. 83 and 84: is written by de Vries:— 'Thus we see that the theory of the Origin of species by means of natural selection is quite independent of the question, how the variations to be selected arise. They may arise slowly, from simple fluctuations, or suddenly, by mutations; in both cases natural selection will take hold of them, will multiply them if they are beneficial, and in the course of time

what the author of the Origin of Species so constantly insisted upon, in the statements Darwin's greatest work is the outcome of the unflinching application to Biology of the leading idea and the method applied in the Principles to Geology4, and Lyell, for others, as for myself, was the chief agent in smoothing the road for Darwin5.

There is, indeed, a very striking parallelism between the reception of the Principles of Geology by Lyell's contemporaries and the manner in which the Origin of Species was met a quarter of a century later, as is so vividly described by Huxley1.

world was awaiting a liberator. Finally the revolution was proclaimed and the first decisive blow struck by the publication of The Origin of Species on the twenty-fourth of November, 1859. It was no hasty and ill-considered stroke. Events had been shaping themselves to this end since the twenty-seventh of December, 1831, when the little brig Beagle sailed from Plymouth harbor, bearing the unknown and youthful Charles Darwin to the discovery of a new world not, however, an unexplored continent

species to pair together, and on Nov. 25 he wrote to Bates asking for fuller information on this subject3. If Bates's opinion were well founded, sexual selection would bear a most important part in the establishment of such species4. It must be admitted, however, that the evidence is as yet quite insufficient to establish this conclusion. It is interesting to observe how Darwin at once fixed on the part of Bates's memoir which seemed to bear upon sexual selection. A review of Bates's theory of

obviously an important effect in getting my notions known. In July 1860 appeared the, now famous, article in the Quarterly, by Samuel Wilberforce, on the Origin of Species; and the author's first comment on it was: The article on the Origin seems to me very clever, and I am quizzed splendidly. I really believe that I enjoyed it as much as if I had not been the unfortunate butt. There is hardly any malice in it, which is wonderful considering the source whence many of the suggestions come.

notwithstanding his conviction that the hypothesis was sound, Darwin was quite aware that it was probably the most vulnerable part of the Origin. Thus he wrote to H. W. Bates, April 4, 1861: If I had to cut up myself in a review I would have [worried?] and quizzed sexual selection; therefore, though I am fully convinced that it is largely true, you may imagine how pleased I am at what you say on your belief3. The existence of sound-producing organs in the males of insects was, Darwin considered

But the inevitable sequel had been plainly set forth by Huxley in his Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature, which appeared in 1863. He appears not to have heard of the meeting at the Linnean Society, of which he was not then a member, but the reputation he had won made his verdict on the Origin that for which Darwin most anxiously

Advance copies had been issued for review, and on November 19 the Athenaeum had committed the author to the tender mercies of the Divinity Hall, the College, the lecture room, and the museum. Looking back on the controversy which immediately followed, the contrast between the maturity of the new views and the crudity of the attacks which were directed

evident, however, that as the work progressed, the interest of the various questions bearing on the origin of species grew in his mind. While Lyell found it impossible to accept the explanation of origin suggested by Lamarck, he was greatly influenced by the arguments in favour of evolution advanced by that naturalist; and as he wrote chapter after chapter on the questions of the modification and variability of [page] 6
