The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 13 CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN. No scientific man of his own generation has exercised so profound an influence upon contemporary thought as Charles Robert Darwin, whose death we announce to-day; for the theory of evolution, which he presented to the world with such a powerful array of accurately-observed and systematically arranged facts to support it, has brought about a complete revolution in men's ideas upon the subjects of ontology, anthropology

an object of attention, and from their numbers and fecundity. It will be curious to note the use made of Mr. Darwin's book in connection with what is called the Darwinian theory of evolution. The whole drift of this elaborate study on worms tends to show that their work is not carried on simply for their own benefit, nor is taken advantage of for their own elevation in the scale of being, but is an arrangement for the use of the more highly developed creatures, especially man. The Spectator has

superficial bed of vegetable mould passes through their bodies in the course of every few years. They decompose and disintegrate particles of earth, generate humus-acids, circulate carbonic acid through the soil, and prepare the ground in an excellent manner for the growth of fibrous-rooted plants and for seedlings of all kinds. No theory of evolution is associated by the author with the results of his latest observations. He is content to submit plain facts, leaving them to speak for themselves

, he had already passed prime even of scientific or literary life; but he first became known to the reading world at large and therefore seemed to the present generation belong to our own age rather than that of our fathers. The character of the work incomplete and prefatory as it avowedly was explains the silence of so many preceding years, and why not long afterwards, the full scheme of doctrine of evolution, together with the nature of evidence on which it was founded, was laid before the public

previous human labours, for evolution holds good of genius as of all else. GOETHE had hinted, and LAMARCK at the beginning of this century had actually formulated the chief points of a scientific and natural view of the developments of animal and vegetable life. These suggestions, however, lay neglected until the sudden apparition of that wonderful work of CHARLES DARWIN, which put life and soul into the imperfect ideas, and placed before the astonished generation a new view of Animated Nature

modified any such impression. It is seen that, whether the creative activity of God is manifested through catastrophes, as the phrase goes, or in progressive evolution, it is still His creative activity, and the really great questions beyond remain untouched. The evolutionary process supposing it to exist, must have had a beginning: who began it? it? It must have mad material to work with: who furnished it? It is itself a law or system of laws: who them? Even supposing that the theory represents

beginning to regard Evolution as a hypothesis which may in a measure be harmonized with their first principles. The story of such scenes as those which took place at the celebrated meeting of the British Association at Oxford, in 1860, and of the battle royal between BISHOP WILBERFORCE and the young and ardent MR. HUXLEY, reads at the present day like a scene from ancient history; like an episode in the persecution of GALILEO, or a preliminary to the excommunication of SPINOZA. The time has gone

years will bear me out to the full when I assert that there is no field of biological inquiry in which the influence of the 'Origin of Species' is not traceable; the foremost men of science in every country are either avowed champions of its leading doctrines, or at any rate abstain from opposing them; a host of young and ardent investigators seek for and find inspiration and guidance in Mr. Darwin's great work; and the general doctrine of Evolution, to one side of which it gives expression

over the earth's surface, and tracing the relations and affinities of different groups, the theory of evolution is at the present time taken for granted, and deductions based upon it are allowed to pass unchallenged in every scientific society throughout the world. In The Descent of Man the doctrine of evolution from pre-existing forms is applied to the human species; whilst in The Variation of Plants and Animals under Domestication we have a marvellous collection of facts bearing, on the one

accepted as true that the terms evolution, inheritance, variation, the battle of life, survival of the fittest, have become household words, and are applied to circumstances and conditions never dreamt of by Darwin himself. The origin of living beings from a common stock, their divergence according to circumstances, the force of competition in moulding their forms and other circumstances, upon which the theory of evolution is founded, are now accepted, in principle if not in every detail, by almost

evolution itself. But it is no rash assertion that the facts must survive, and something more than the facts, which DARWIN spent his happy life in collecting. He accumulated facts, and he will have taught posterity how to accumulate them. Should the theories which he inferred from facts as he knew them ever become subordinate or obsolete, it will be in virtue of discoveries made through the method he used and enthroned. The horizon he beheld may widen or contract; no increase in the facilities for

: who enacted them? The inevitable answer to these questions justifies the assertion which Cannon Barry made the same evening in Westminster Abbey, that the fruitful doctrine of evolution, with which Darwin's name would always be associated, lent itself at least as readily to the old promise of God as to more modern but less complete explanations of the universe. Under the shelter of these eminent authorities we need not qualify our admiration for the high intellectual qualities of the great

was felt that the Abbey needed it more than it needed the Abbey. The Abbey tombs are a compendium of English deeds and intellect. The line would have been incomplete without the epoch-making name of DARWIN. How long the era he opened will last none can tell. Veins of thought supposed to be of inexhaustible wealth sometimes fail. It is still less possible to predict that a larger law may not sooner or later embrace and merge that of evolution itself. But it is no rash assertion that the facts

and most observant of these. The reasons why these moderate expectations were so soon more than fulfilled are not far to seek, although they were not then obvious to the world in general, for mere hypothetical speculations were mostly discountenanced by naturalists of that day. But in fact, their work and their thoughts were tending in the direction of evolution, consciously or unconsciously: even those who manfully rowed against the current were insensibly carried some way along with the stream
