career. 'He left England untried and almost uneducated for science, he returned in 1836 a successful collector, a practised and brilliant geologist, and with a wide knowledge of zoology gained at first hand in many parts of the world.' Coming back to Cambridge he lived for some months at 22, Fitzwilliam Street, a fact which is commemorated by a plaque affixed there. 'And thus it was that within a year of his return he could begin his first note-book on evolution the first stone, in fact, of the

disinterested action would make his small sailing vessel forever famous in the history of science; the Beagle was to become the training-ship for Charles Darwin in the serious scientific purpose of his life. His name will always be principally associated with the theory of evolution; the present volume, built round the little note-books of the voyage and his letters home, deals with an earlier period when hypotheses were still in the making and the orthodox doctrines of creation and immutability of species

liking. He himself was to search the earth for twenty-five years for facts bearing on evolution before he was ready to put forward his own theory: facts from seedsmen, facts from animal fanciers, facts from farmers, besides his own observations and those derived from other scientists. Nevertheless this exchange of views with other keen minds must have meant much in the Edinburgh days; so did the meetings of the scientific societies which he joined, where he even read a paper before the Plinian

, the tenth, Charles Waring Darwin, who died in childhood. Down House was thus the home of a large and most gifted family. During the forty years of his residence at Down, Darwin made the second abstract of his theory of evolution (1844; the first was made in 1842 before he came to Down); he wrote his researches on the Zoology of the Beagle, on Coral Reefs, and prepared a new edition of the Naturalist's Voyage. Before he settled down to work at Barnacles, to which he gave seven years (1847 54

Dr. Erasmus Darwin had been a mouthpiece for that earlier period of enthusiasm when unknown animals and plants were reaching Europe through increased trade and travel, and Linnaeus was leading biologic nomenclature out of chaos. Throughout Europe a closer scrutiny of living forms was put in motion; old scientific sign-posts were done away with, and Erasmus was one of the pioneers who installed a new one pointing to Evolution. Two generations later it was his grandson Charles's turn to express

translated as it originally appeared in Kosmos; and the second note, that Evolution Old and New had appeared since Kosmos, confirmed this meaning by implying particularly that nothing in the translated article could possibly have got there in consequence of Evolution Old and New. In 1880 Butler published Unconscious Memory, wherein he told the story over again, and very fully. The reader may perhaps ask: Why should he do so? What could it matter to him? How was he damnified by what had been done

understand. Charles's own shrinking from anything verging on public or personal dispute, also found an echo in this family difference after his death. Francis refers to Charles's religion and to his reticence in Chap. VIII of Life and Letters, Vol. I, considerable parts of which are drawn from the Autobiography, passages which were presumably passed by the family censorship, and which are here reinstated in their right place. Evolution has now been widely accepted, and the author of the Origin
