Professor Watts of Assemblys College,
Belfast. examines with great ability DR..
Tyndall's Atomism Theory of the universe,
in pamphlet edition Of his address, from
which we take single passage:
with great Candor DR.. Tyndall admits
that neither Mr.. Darwin nor Mr.. Spencer
has fully faced the problem of the origin
alton of life. diminishing gradually the
number Of progenitors, Mr.. Darwin comes
at length to one primordial FORM but he
does not say. as far as remember, how he
supposcs this form to have been introduce
ed As Mr.. Darwin seems to hold that the
primordiaI form or forms were introduced
by creative acts, our President is ultimate
ly compelled to confess that he does not
see THAI much advantage is to be gained
10y the diminution Of the number of Gre
ated forms. The anthropomorphism
which it seemed the hypothesis was in
tended to set aside he comedies is as firm
" associated with the creation Of few
forms as with the creation Of a multitude"
