opposition between evolution and religion, to the more definite position taken by Mr. Mivart, that the orthodox authorities of the Roman Catholic Church agree in distinctly asserting derivative creation, so that their teachings harmonize with all that modern science can possibly require. Here Mr. Huxley felt the want of that study of Christian philosophy (at any rate, in its Jesuitic garb), which Mr. Mivart speaks of, and it was a want he at once set to work to fill up. He was then staying at St

was caricatured by Canning in his Loves of the Triangles. The poem to-day is well deserving a place among the curiosities of literature, and while its decasyllabic rhymed couplets may not be admired, they evidently emanated from no ordinary mind. An interesting feature in his life is the fact that, to quote his grandson, he undoubtedly anticipated the views and erroneous grounds of opinions of Lamarck, the fundamental principle of the theory of evolution being traced in his writings. Thus he says

famous for the restrictions which were placed upon men, and the denunciations with which new and advanced ideas were received. Thus advanced thinkers found that their theories in many instances, instead of leading them on to fame, but opened the doors of the Bast lie. It is not improbable that Buffon was in accord with the feeling of the time, as while his great discursive work- - Histoire Naturelle, of 1749—1788 —fully outlines the theory of evolution, in which he was a believer, it is done

was forced upon the evolutionist. Perhaps the clergy-gave him close and suggestive attention, and he was offered the choice between the Bastile, the Sorbonne, and apology to offended orthodoxy. Be this as it may, Buffon was one of the early delineators of the modern theory of evolution, and despite his peculiar attitude history accords him this recognition. Following Buffon came Wolff and his works in 1759-1764, in which the idea was still further elaborated. He emphasised the fact that the

the seeds have been carried by the wind over the Narrows, down on to Long Island, and into Connecticut, and if after many years, ages perhaps, we could compare a seed with one that fell on the original field on Staten Island, we should note that the wanderer had deviated from the original; that while it resembled it, it was now a variety, and had taken what we might term a step in the march of evolution. Now suppose that other seeds from this plant where they had fallen had become affected or

, there has been an apparent evolutionary movement here, so that viewing the results we can easily imagine that one who had studied the rocks as did Darwin might arrive at the conclusion that he was looking at the different steps in the evolution of life. How long was the thirteen thousand feet in New York forming? The mind fails to grasp the figures, nor can we realise it without taking up instances that are well defined and familiar.

Great Britain must have required 306,662,400 years, or say three hundred million years. A million, then, is but a drop in the bucket in the time since life began, and when endeavouring to imagine species as the result of Darwin's explanation, we must remember that periods beyond our power of appreciation are necessary to the result, and are an essential factor in evolution. Having looked so far into Darwinism, having seen that the great naturalist outlines a theory and fully defines its scope, the

widely separated living species, as well as to that between forms which lived in successive earlier epochs. It was urged that the Darwinian theory was opposed to revelation, and subversive of Christianity. As students of nature and seekers after truth alone—so far as nature is concerned—we only ask whether the views of Darwin are true or not. But now, from many a pulpit, and from the most enlightened of the clergy, we hear the claim that evolution is in perfect accordance with revelation, and is

CHAPTER XIV. THE SPREAD OF EVOLUTION. 1861 1871. THE beginning of the year 1861 saw my father engaged on the 3rd edition (2000 copies) of the Origin, which was largely corrected and added to, and was published in April, 1861. On July 1, he started, with his family, for Torquay, where he remained until August 27 a holiday which he characteristically enters in his diary as eight weeks and a day. The house he occupied was in Hesketh Crescent, a pleasantly placed row of houses close above the sea

outer crust. He one day, when we were walking together, burst forth in high admiration of Lamarck and his views on evolution. I listened in silent astonishment, and as far as I can judge, without any effect on my mind. I had previously read the Zoonomia of my grandfather, in which similar views are maintained, but without producing any effect on me. Nevertheless it is probable that the hearing rather early in life such views maintained and praised may have favoured my upholding them under a

man's intellect; but man can do his duty. Again in 1879 he was applied to by a German student, in a similar manner. The letter was answered by a member of my father's family, who wrote: Mr. Darwin begs me to say that he receives so many letters, that he cannot answer them all. He considers that the theory of Evolution is quite compatible with the belief in a God; but that you must remember that different persons have different definitions of what they mean by God. This, however, did not satisfy

appeared to those who had no knowledge of the quiet development of his theory of evolution during this period. On Sept. 14, 1842, my father left London with his family and settled at Down.* In the Autobiographical chapter, his motives for moving into the country are briefly given. He speaks of the attendance at scientific societies and ordinary social duties as suiting his health so badly that we resolved to live in the country, which we both preferred and have never repented of.

mercies of the Divinity Hall, the College, the Lecture Room, and the Museum. It appears from Sir Charles Lyell's published letters that he intended to admit the doctrine of evolution in a new edition of the Manual, but this was not published till 1865. He was, however, at work on the Antiquity of Man in 1860, and had already determined to discuss the Origin at the end of the book. [page] 21
