Ladies and gentlemen, a few words may be said upon some of the general aspects of this subject, which will be dealt with more completely by the third of the speakers who is to address you to-night. When I was first invited to attend the meeting I was asked to say something regarding the influence of the Darwinian theory, and in particular to what is called the Doctrine of Evolution upon history and the political and economic sciences. I felt obliged to decline so great a task as that, partly

followed his researches and reflected on his conclusions. Coming particularly to what is called the doctrine of Evolution, let it be at once admitted that in the branch of history that belongs to primitive man, that considers the growth of our race in its very earliest stages, and the development of his moral ideas and social habits, some of Mr. Darwin's suggestions were striking and illumina [page] v

the whole tone of one's mind, and therefore that, when seeing a thing never seen by Lyell, one yet saw it partially through his eyes. When did Darwin acknowledge his debt in this way? It was in August, 1844. In 1842 he had written the first brief account of his theory of evolution—that sketch which will now be for the first time in the hands of the public—that sketch of which, thanks to your generosity, a gift has been made to every guest whom you are welcoming to Cambridge, a work which I for my

the relation between the most recent fossils and the forms now living in a country— by which Darwin was first convinced of the truth of evolution, we cannot avoid the conclusion that he was right in feeling the debt to be a very heavy one. Although Darwin spoke of the three years at Cambridge as the most joyful in my happy life, neither he nor Lyell appear to have thought that they owed very much to their Universities. In this respect I cannot but believe that both these great men were mistaken

respects assimilating more closely to the Universities of three-quarters of a century ago. Turning now to the ancient Universities as the lists where new ideas are compelled to undergo the trial of combat, we observe that the battle of evolution began with the dramatic encounter between Huxley and Wilberforce at the meeting of the British Association at Oxford, in 1860, and, according to Professor Newton, came to a close with the victory of the new teachings, only two years later, at the meeting of

discoverable through human investigation. During the ages previous to the memorable year 1859 a few bold thinkers, now and then, had ventured to suggest a theory of general evolution, but they had failed to supply it with a substantial foundation of proof, or to assign to it a reasonable and intelligible cause, and had been, consequently, one and all, overwhelmed and suppressed by the powerful and prevalent dogma of special creation. Naturalists had been for centuries active in the collection of

can be shown in the far more important relation to its associates than to external conditions. Darwin's great contribution to the subject of evolution was the incontrovertible proof adduced by him that living species are modified descendants of pre xisting species, and that the modifications are brought about by natural causes. His observations led him to the conclusion that the modifications were all minute, gradual and cumulative. We know that they may also be considerable and abrupt and that

Was sollte man aus diesen Tatsachen anders schließen, als daß die vulkanischen Inseln zu einer früheren Zeit Vögeleinwanderer vom Festland bekommen hatten, welche nun im Laufe der Jahrtausende auf jeder dieser Insel etwas variiert hatten, d. h. zu anderen Arten geworden waren.

Es mag hier der Ort sein, zu fragen, ob und inwieweit etwa Charles Darwin den Gedanken der Evolution von seinen Vorgängern aus dem Anfang des Jahrhunderts, vor allem von seinem Großvater Erasmus übernommen hat. Soviel ist sicher, daß er mit sechszehn Jahren die „Zoonomia gelesen hatte und daß er damals sie bewunderte.

Thus, extending in this direction and wiping out in that, the great transformation has boon effected and one of the most beautiful mimics in the world produced. The evolution of the mimetic pattern on the under surface has involved an even more elaborate change than on the upper; but it is not necessary to repeat here the details which have been only recently
