its relation to the theory of Evolution; he sums up his results in this light. Evolution is never far off while he is framing those hypotheses and questions which, though rarely enunciated in print, are the scaffolding of his structures. It is remarkable how pregnant are the hints which come from Darwin's writings—how they lead to the very heart of the subject, and prompt the most vitally interesting inquiries. Among other striking services which Darwin has rendered to the biological world is

But those who are trying to effect a compromise between the irreconcilables, religion and scientific thought, from the Archbishop of Canterbury upwards, are assuring us that the great truths of Evolution are all in harmony with the Bible, and have been this long time embodied in more or less hidden guise in the teaching of the Church

it. If I do not justify the Darwinian theory of evolution, or even state it, it would seem hardly fair to criticise it. Moreover, my own opinion is of microscopically small importance. Nevertheless, I hope to be pardoned if I offer a short statement of the views which I have been led to adopt. The evidence for the theory of descent with modification may be roughly divided into that drawn from Zoology and Botany, from Embryology, from Distribution, and from Palaeontology. I cannot hope in a few

Evolution as the integration of matter and concomitant dissolution of motion, during which the matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity, to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, and during which the retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation.* This may be all true, says one critic, but it seems rather the blank form for a universe than anything corresponding to the actual world about us. † We are inevitably driven to contrast the 'Summa Biologiæ' of Herbert Spencer with

researches as from something idle or unsound. The best-informed, most progressive, and most candid minds are the readiest to accept his doctrines. A school of Embryologists, deeply persuaded of the truth of Evolution, has re-written the development of animals. None has ever spoken with heartier respect and veneration of Charles Darwin, than the young yet eminent student whom Cambridge and England lost last July—Francis Maitland Balfour.

Goethe, then an old man, strongly persuaded of the derivation of one species from another, and himself a figure in the history of the doctrine of evolution. Monday, August 2nd, 1830. The news of the outbreak of the Revolution of July arrived in Weimar to-day, and has caused general excitement. In the course of the afternoon I went to Goethe. 'Well!' he exclaimed, as I entered 'what do you think of this great event?' The volcano has burst forth, all is in flames, and there are no more negotiations

the production of the forms of life now existing. He does not, however, give to this most important factor in evolution sufficient weight. It is the fact that so many more animals are born than can find their livelihood in their native place, that makes natural selection of such immense importance. If there had been free scope for every organism that was born to live and to develop without restraint, we should have had numberless forms of life, but not the definite species, genera, and classes

[page] 188 We see, then, that non-intelligent habits of non-adaptive or useless character may be strongly inherited by domestic animals. As showing that the same is true of breeds or strains in wholly wild animals, I may quote Humboldt, who says,* that the Indians who catch monkeys to sell them knew very well

It was soon, however, discovered that Darwin was rather a patient investigator of facts than a daring theorist, and that, whatever might be his conclusions, the mass of facts he had collected with
