in order that a new species should suddenly appear in the manner supposed by Mr. Mivart, it is almost necessary to believe, in opposition to all analogy, that several wonderfully changed individuals appeared simultaneously within the same district. This difficulty, as in the case of unconscious selection by man, is avoided on the theory of gradual evolution, through the preservation of a large number of individuals, which varied more or less in any favourable direction, and of the destruction of

assertions, almost all of which are controverted by accumulated facts in the works of Mr. Darwin. Chapter xxviii. is entirely devoted to an account of Agassiz's views of design, and supposed proofs of a creative mind at work in every step of the development of a group of animals. The facts will appear to most naturalists thoroughly consistent with the theory of evolution and that of natural selection; while the arguments involve a view of the Deity which most philosophical thinkers will find it

and Prof. Owen are both applauded so far as they oppose Darwin, but as both of them believe in some form of development, they are, in Dr. Bree's opinion, almost equally involved in error. Mr. Mivart's doctrine of evolution, he thinks, cannot stand, and looks too much like Mr. Tegetmeir's pigeons, made to order. It is, however, no doubt offered with the best intentions, as a means of reconciling scientific and religious thought, — two lines which, Mr. Spencer remarks, are running parallel and

[Translation of Müller's letter to 'Professor Noire'] […] February 8 [1878] 'Darwin; has given us, in his later editions of the Origin of Species, an historical treatise on his mental ancestors. Altogether old Darwin; is an honest fellow. The Darwinians are much worse than Darwin; himself, and I think the word Darwinism ought either to be sharply defined or should be replaced by evolution-doctrine. […] [page] 35

much to further the acceptance of the theory of descent that the whole doctrine of modern evolution is popularly associated with his name. This, however, is not correct, and Darwin himself would, I think, only claim that he had made the theory of development of species credible, and had thus indirectly influenced other subjects than biology. Darwin never used the word evolution until long after the Origin of Species was published. With him, as with all naturalists, it was called the development

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 193 Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. By Charles Darwin. (D. Appleton Co.) pp.  374. All those with whom the theory of evolution and natural selection have found favor, will find this latest work of Mr. Darwin, a very interesting study; but those who refuse to believe that an anthropomorphous ape is our common progenitor will not find in it much to amuse or instruct them. Like every work of Darwin's, this shows great industry, deep

screening the eyes from the sun in circumstances of anxiety. This principle implies three assumptions: (1) Voluntary movement, or movement for ends, is an earlier fact than Emotional or purposeless movement. (2) Voluntary movements become associated with the feelings that occasioned them, so as to be manifested although there is no proper act of the will. (3) These associated movements are transmitted by inheritance. This last is the carrying out of Mr. Darwin's own doctrine of Evolution. The

photographic and other illustrations very materially aid the unscientific reader's comprehension of the interesting subjects discussed. It does not treat of physiognomy merely—the recognition of character through the study of the permanent form of the features—but of the emotions in man and animals, as revealed in changes of expression. Mr. Darwin's observations of the expressions of the several passions were begun in 1838, at a time when he was inclined to believe in the principle of evolution, and

are of opinion that there is an inherent tendency towards higher organisation, they think that protoplasm tends to become more and more complex, and that evolution is the inevitable outcome of a fundamental property of living matter. This view is founded on the difficulty of explaining some phenomena in any other way and it may be taken merely as an expression of our ignorance, which may not be true, as a matter of fact natural selection is at present the only known efficient cause of progress or
