the evidence for the theory of evolution and the mechanism by which it might be achieved, namely the Natural Selection of Favourable Variations. Principal amongst those who reacted so vehemently were most members of the Established Church and their champion was the renowned Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce. It is a far cry from Down House to the library of the museum at Oxford University, where at a meeting of the British Association in 1860 the battle was joined. Before an audience of over

1865. At one time Haeckel stood alone as the great champion of Darwin in Germany. However, his own contributions to science were considerable and in his great work Generelle Morphologie he enunciated the theory that the life-history of an individual is a more or less accurate recapitulation of its historic evolution, or as scientists put it more briefly: Ontogeny repeats Phylogeny. Huxley called Haeckel the Coryphaeus of the Darwinian movement in Germany and he and Charles corresponded

FOREWORD Charles Darwin has always had a fascination for the biographer and many volumes have been written on his life and works. There are probably several reasons for this appeal. One obvious reason is that the principle of Evolution as presented in the Origin of Species has had such a widespread influence throughout the biological sciences. Another reason is that he was a prolific writer of books and letters and lived in an age when letters tended to be kept for posterity. Most of his

west coast of South America, Darwin visited the Galapagos islands lying on the Equator 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. There he observed the different species of animals and plants each apparently adapted to the varied conditions on the different islands, and there perhaps was born the idea of Darwin's great contribution to the theory of evolution the Natural Selection of Favourable Variations whereby species evolve from the pressures of environmental circumstances.

in scientific circles. Almost at once he set about the fulfilment of his second great contribution which was to bear fruit twenty-three years later with the publication of The Origin of Species. This was to provide an accumulation of evidence in favour of the theory of evolution such that no reasonable man thereafter could deny the essential probity of the thesis. At first, after visits to his home in Shrewsbury, to his uncle Josiah Wedgwood at Maer and to Cambridge, he settled in lodgings in

evolution; Sir Joseph Hooker, curator of Kew Gardens; W. Spottiswoode, President of the Royal Society; the Earl of Derby; and the Duke of Argyll. Charles, I am sure, would have marvelled at all these distinguished and busy people paying him such homage. There is a letter from Major Leonard Darwin, his son, to Dr. O. J. R. Howarth, who lived in Down House whilst it was the property of the British Association, and who wrote the history of Down village, saying, what I want is that it should be

which Charles said How I wish I had not expressed my theory of evolution as I have done . Another that Charles told Lady Hope that he desired her to collect a congregation and said in a clear, emphatic voice that he would like to speak to them of Christ Jesus and His salvation, being in a state where he was eagerly savouring the heavenly anticipation of bliss , and yet another in which Charles besought Lady Hope to preach to his own servants. A good deal of the evidence for these incidents has been

of attending Henrietta's wedding and in 1871 the fact that he was to give evidence before a committee investigating the problem of vivisection rendered him sick and sleepless . Poor Darwin! He had so many real worries the opprobrium which he incurred when his views on evolution were made known in The Origin and particularly in the Descent of Man, the knowledge that his wife, whom he loved dearly, could not but disapprove of the consequences of the revelation of his ideas and the fact that he had

. Price DM 10. L; T, 975(8) [533 Selections This is an unsatisfactory section. Every book about the history of the theory of evolution contains quotations from Darwin's works, as do many books about evolution in general, books about nineteenth century thought and review articles about his work. It would be both impossible and ridiculous to attempt to include them all. Included, therefore, are only those whose authors set out to extract what they consider to be relevant to their potential readers

Indeed the whale-bear story in full is not peculiar to the first edition, but occurs in all the four American printings of 1860. The single folded lithographic diagram, by William West, is inserted facing page 117. It indicates Darwin's views of possible sequences of evolution, and continued to be used in all subsequent editions. Philip D. Gingerich has used it recently in a discussion of the speed and

revised and contains a new chapter, VII. This was inserted to confute the views of the Roman Catholic biologist St George Mivart. The edition was aimed at a wider public and printed in smaller type, the volume shorter again and giving the general impression of a cheap edition, which at 7s. 6d. it was. The title changes to The origin of species, and a glossary, compiled by W. S. Dallas, appears. It is in this edition that the word 'evolution' occurs for the first time. It had been used in the

of them in standard library series such as Everyman and the World's Classics. Some are important because they are introduced by leading scholars of evolution and show the changing attitudes towards darwinism over the years; one, the Everyman of 1956, has even had its introduction reprinted by the Evolution Protest Movement. Almost all of them are bread and butter reprints in small type, but at a reasonable price. However there is one spacious edition, that for the Limited Editions Club of New

details'. From a publisher's point of view however the book was not a success. It was concerned with working out in detail the relationships between sexual structures of orchids and the insects which fertilise them, their evolution being attributed to natural selection. It is therefore the first of the volumes of supporting evidence. It was much praised by botanists, but sold only about 6,000 copies before the turn of the century.
