without any effect on my mind. had
previously read the zoonomia of my
grandfather in which similar views are
maintained, and without producing any
effect upon me-" But he is careful to
add, Nevertheless it is probable that
the hearing early in life such views
maintained and praised may have favor
ed my upholding them under differ
ent form in my Origin of Species. ,"
Grant was much interested in marine
zoology, and took Darwin with him on
excursions, and he dissected as well as
he could, the animals collected. He
deplores his incapacity in dissection ,and
his inferior microscope. Nevertheless
he made a little discovery, and read
paper upon the subject before the
Plinian Society. He got instruction in
bird-stuffing, and probably much in
formation from negro who had trav-
elled with Waterton and was making
living in Edinburgh by bird stuffing.
The official instruction apparently did
more harm than good, for he writes,
81 attended Jameson's lectures on
geology and zoology, but they were
incredibly dull. The sole effect they
produced on me was the determination
never so long as lived to read book
on geology, or in any way to study the
science" 1t was, indeed, from an un-
official person that he derived benefit
''From attending Jameson's lectures"
he says, 81 became acquainted with the
curator of museum, Mr.. MacGillvray,
who afterwards published large and
excellent book upon the birds of Scot
land. I had much interesting Natural
History talk with him, and he was
very kind to me. He gave me some
rare shells, for at that time collected
marine molusca, but with no great
ZEAL"
AS he did not find medical study con-
genial, nor relish the idea of being
physician, his father thought that he
had better go into the Church. This
change was the reason why he went
from Edinburgh to Cambridge. He
entered the latter university in the
Lent Term of 1928. Darwin's own
comments on this change in his future
career are interesting and humorous.
Here they are: considering how
fiercely 1 have been attacked by the
orthodox, it seems ludicrous that was
once intended to be a clergyman. Nor
was this intention and my fathers wish
ever formally given up, but died
natural death when, on leaving Cam
bridge, 1 Joined the Beagle" as
naturalist. If the phrenologists are to
be trusted was we'll fitted in one
respect to be clergyman. A few years
ago the secretaries of a German psyche
logical society asked me earnestly by
letter for photograph of myself, and
some time afterwards l received the
proceedings of one of the meetings, in
which it seemed that the shape of my
head had been the subject of public
discussion, and one of the speakers de-
clared that had the bump of reverence
developed enough for ten priests"
Cambridge seems to have exerted very
much the same sort of influence on his
future career as Edinburgh. According
to Darwin's own account, he gained
little or nothing from the official sources
of instruction. What advantages he
did derive from the three years resi-

divided under three headings. The
object of the first part is to explain how
Darwin came to write "The Origin of
Species" l propose to point out the
circumstances which acted upon its
author, enabling him to write work of
such great importance. In the second
part, | hope to show the relation be-
tween "The Origin of Species" and our
great masters subsequent labors. The
third sub division will be devoted to the
connection between General Evolution
and Natural Selection as eXemplified by
mankind.
am quite well aware that am open
to criticism for dealing with such wide
subjects in so few words, but my excuse
is that [ am merely making an effort
to arouse in the readers mind q desire
for further information.
At the present time everybody talks
about Evolution, but it is not certain
that the users of the word have, as
rule, any definite idea of it's meaning.
The reason of it's widespread use, how
ever, is not difficult to find. Although
gradual development of organic life was
known long before the time of Darwin,
yet the everyday use of the word "Evo-
lution' has only become common since
his discovery of the prime factor in the
Evolutionary process. From the time
of Aristotle 1884 B. o. there seems to
have been in the minds of many men
vague idea of some form of gradual
progress through successive generations
of animals and plants; and two CEN
turies ago Harvey, Q57S-165O, the
illustrious discoverer of the circulation
of the blood, enunciated view of de-
velopment which he called Epigenesis,
quite in harmony with the modern
theory of Evolution.
Treviranus, Darwin, Goethe, Lamarck.
Towards the end of the last century
four men, at about the same time, inde-
pendently expressed the opinion that
the existing condition of the Animal
Kingdom was the result, not of any
special creative acts, but of descent,
with certain notifications, which they
were unable to explain. These men
were Treviranus (1776-1S37), Erasmus
Darwin, the grandfather of Charles
Darwin, who lived from 1871 to 1902,
Goethe Q749-lS32), and Lamarck Q744-
1929. OF these Lamarck held most
strongly the belief in the gradual
progress OF. the animal world, and he
also suggested the influences which he
supposed might have caused such modi-
tications as have occurred. Lamarck's
explanation was very defective, and the
facts which he brought forward in sup
port of it were unquestionabiy insult
ficient. There is, however, at the pres
ent day neo Lamarckian school of
biology which bases it's scientific creed
upon Lamarck's opinions expressed in
his work LA Philosophic Zoologique"
Darwin was, it will be seen, born into
the world which may be said to have
absorbed the evolutionary idea, but that
idea was in a dormant condition. A
few scientific men were firmly con-
vinced of the truth of Evolution, al
though they were not able, as we are,
to support their faith by irrefutable
evidence. This incapacity, of course,
retarded the spread of scientific opin-
ions

''Origin of Species," published in 1859,
which dispelled doubt and carried con-
viction to the minds of some highly in.
tellectual men who had previously been
unable to accept the doctrine of Evo-
luton? 1t was this--that for the first
time, was presented clear and easily
understood explanation of how in the
course of time profound changes might
have taken place in the structure of
Animals and Plants; and the eXplana-
| ton was sufficient to enable the most
prejudiced dogmatist to realize how the
present condition of the animal and
vegetable worlds might have arisen by
process of descent. Nor was Darwin's
reasoning merely hypothetical. Upon
the other hand, it was supported by an
enormous mass of facts-observations
and eXperiments-such as had never
before been brought to bear upon any
biological problem This is the signif-
canoe Of Darwin's "Origin of Species"
All his subsequent work may be cor
rectly described as an amplification or
elaboration of the innumerable points
raised in that magnificent book.
Darwin's Education.
Now, let us discover how the "Origin
of Species came to be written, and
then what effect it had upon the author
himself as interpreted by the light of
his subsequent work; what it's effect
was upon his contemporaries and, last
ly, its influence upon the most impOr
tant of all questions-the evolution of
man.
Charles Darwin was born at Shrews-
bury in 1909. His father was, as every
body knows, a son of Erasmus Darwin,
who, by his scientific work and his
poetry, had made reputation. His
mother was the daughter of Josiah
Wedgewood, the well known Stafford
shire potter. Those of us who are in
terested in heredity - and everybody
ought to be-will not be surprised at the
possession of exceptional powers in one
descended from two such men as
Erasmus Darwin and Josiah Wedge
wood. 1 have time to notice one little
thing which occurred during Darwin's
school days-viz: his reading Whites
Natural History of Selborne. This
book, our master relates, made him take
pleasure in watching the habits of birds,
and he even made notes upon them.
Here seems to nave been the hrSt Stlm-
ulus towards natural science.
Leaving school in 1925, he proce eded
to the University of Edinburgh, where
he remained two years. To judge from
his own account, he gained very little
advantage from the instruction afforded
at the Scotch University. He writes
"the instruction was altogether by lee
lures, and these were intolerably dull,
~ nbo, ;,k,
by Hope" Many students have, I do
pressed when he added: 'Dr. Duncan's
lectures on materia medica at eight
o'clock on winters morning are some
thing fearful to remember. DR.. Munro
made his lecture OH Human Anatomy as
dull as he was himself, and the subject
disgusted me-" But while Darwin
