PREFACE. The following sketch of Darwin and his Works would never have been written but for a spirit of misrepresentation and injustice, that has been evinced towards the author of the theory of Natural Selection by even an enlightened community. (Ealing.) It is not intended to cover more than a passing memoir and an enquiry into Darwin's most popular works; but since the Genesis of Life, Evolution of Morals, Society and Religion, are inseparably linked with this theme, and Human and Brute

suppose a higher community of origin in ages still farther back, and so on. Following the safe example of the physicists, and acknowledging the fact of the diversification of a once homogeneous species into varieties, we may receive the theory of the evolution of these into species, even while for the present we hold the hypothesis of a further evolution in cool suspense or in grave suspicion. In respect to very many questions a wise man's mind rests long in a state neither of belief nor of

evolution with a creator somewhere behind it. He offers it (page 320) as a permissible alternative that even man has been created mediately by the operation of forces also concerned in the production of other animals; concedes that a just theory does not even exclude evolution or derivation, to a certain extent (page 341); and that a modern man of science may safely hold that all things have been produced by the Supreme Creative Will, acting either directly or through the agency of the forces

ing up theories of evolution in pure wantonness or mere superfluity of naughtiness; that it would have been quite possible, as well as more proper, to leave all such matters alone. Quieta non movere is doubtless a wise rule upon such subjects, so long as it is fairly applicable. But the time for its application in respect to questions of the origin and relations of existing species has gone by. To ignore them is to imitate the foolish bird that seeks security by hiding its head in the sand

What they and we most want to know is, how these serious matters are viewed by an honest, enlightened, and devout scientific man. To solve the mysteries of the universe, as the French lady required a philosopher to explain his new system, dans un mot is beyond rational expectation. All that we have time and need to say of this little book upon great subjects relates to its spirit and to the view it takes of evolution. Its theology is wholly orthodox; its tone devotional, charitable, and

accounted for by the blind operation of natural causes, without any intention, purpose, or cooperation of God (page 64). Why don't he say, cries the theologian, that the complicated organs of plants and animals are the product of the divine intelligence? If God made them, it makes no difference, so far as the question of design is concerned, how he made them, whether at once or by process of evolution (page 58). But, as we have seen, Mr. Darwin does say that, and he over and over implies it when he

Dr. Winchell, chancellor of the new university at Syracuse, in his volume just issued upon the Doctrine of Evolution, adopts it in the abstract as clearly as the law of universal intelligence under which complex results are brought into existence (whatever that may mean), accepts it practically for the inorganic world as a geologist should, hesitates as to the organic world, and sums up the arguments for the origin of species by diversification unfavorably for the Darwinians, regarding it

the marks of purpose, and so carries the implication of design. The case is adduced as part of the evidence that Darwinian evolution supersedes design. But how? Not certainly in the way this goes on from generation to generation; therefore, doubtless in the way it began. So we look for the explanation of how it came about at the first unintentionally or accidentally; how, under known or supposed conditions, it must have happened, or at least was likely to happen. And we read, A spontaneous

195 means which have been adduced to explain the origin of the species by 'natural selection,' or a process of variation from external influences, are inadequate to account for the phenomena. The law of phyllotaxis, which governs the evolution of leaves around the axis of a plant, is as nearly constant in its manifestation as any of the physical laws connected with the material world. Each instance, however different from another, can be shown to be a term of some series of continued fractions

Language has followed a law of evolution in advance, from simple to complex, from noun and verb, to the elaboration of families of words and parts of speech (Whitney On Language ), For countless eons, though primitive man possessed the complex machinery of speech, he made no use of the function. Language had not arrived at an articulate stage, and was probably only represented by gesture. The need in social life (such as it was) for anything more than the
