variation, as originally propounded in these rooms independently and simultaneously by Darwin and by Wallace. This theory has been subjected to keen criticism, and difficulties have undoubtedly been shown in accepting it as a complete explanation of many of the phenomena of evolution. That other factors have been at work besides natural selection in bringing about the present condition of the organic world, probably every one now admits, as I need not say, Darwin did himself. There is, however

doubted the received belief; but they were not satisfying answers and they did not effect a revolution. Goethe in Germany, Erasmus Darwin in England, 1 and 1 It is worth while to reproduce here a few sentences from Erasmus Darwin's Zoonomia, showing how acutely he guessed in the direction of evolution. When we revolve in our minds, first, the great changes which we see naturally produced in animals after their nativity. . . . Secondly, when we think over the great changes introduced into various

VII. EVOLUTION AND THEOLOGY. (THE NATION, January 15, 1874.) THE attitude of theologians toward doctrines of evolution, from the nebular hypothesis down to Darwinism, is no less worthy of consideration, and hardly less diverse, than that of naturalists. But the topic, if pursued far, leads to questions too wide and deep for our handling here, except incidentally, in the brief notice which it falls in our way to take of the Rev. George Henslow's recent volume on The Theory of Evolution of

writer, in his Darwinism and Design; or, Creation by Evolution, takes his ground in the following succinct statement of his preface: It is being assumed by our scientific guides that the design-argument has been driven out of the field by the doctrine of evolution. It seems to be thought by our theological teachers that the best defense of the faith is to deny evolution in toto, and denounce it as anti-Biblical. My volume endeavors to show that, if evolution be true, all is not lost; but, on

307 depends. These take it instead of making it, to a certain extent. What is the bearing of these remarkable adaptations and operations upon doctrines of evolution? There seems here to be a field on which the specific creationist, the evolutionist with design, and the necessary evolutionist, may fight out an interesting, if not decisive, triangular duel.

evolution from other species. [We might interpose the remark that the witness on the stand, if subjected to cross-examination by a biologist, might be made to give a good deal of testimony in favor of transmutation rather than substitution.] After referring to different ideas as to the cause or mode of evolution, he concludes that it can make no difference, so far as the argument of design in Nature is concerned, whether there be evolution or not, or whether, in the case of evolution, the change be

So that his own judgment in the matter is probably more correctly gathered from the extract above ref erred to and other similar deliverances, such as that in which he warns those who endeavor to steer a middle course, and to maintain that the Creator has proceeded by way of evolution, that the bare, hard logic of Spencer, the greatest English authority on evolution, leaves no place for this compromise, and

that it explains moral anomalies, and accounts for the mixture of good and evil in the world, as well as for the merely relative perfection of things; and, finally, that the whole scheme which God has framed for man's existence, from the first that was created to all eternity, collapses if the great law of evolution be suppressed. The second part of his book is occupied with a development of this line of argument. By this doctrine of evolution he does not mean the Darwinian hypothesis

presumably in some sense true conception. Far from undertaking any general discussion of evolution, several even of Mr. Darwin's writings have not been noticed, and topics which have been much discussed elsewhere are not here adverted to. This applies especially to what may be called deductive evolution—a subject which lay beyond the writer's immediate scope, and to which neither the bent of his mind nor the line of his studies has fitted him to do justice. If these papers are useful at all, it will

cognate works of Mr. Spencer. Darwin does not speculate on the origin of the universe, on the nature of matter or of force. He is simply a naturalist, a careful and laborious observer, skillful in his descriptions, and singularly candid in dealing with the difficulties in the way of his peculiar doctrine. He set before himself a single problem—namely, How are the fauna 1 What is Darwinism? By Charles Hodge, Princeton, N. J. New York: Scribner, Armstrong Co. 1874. The Doctrine of Evolution. By
