OF NATURAL SELECTION. A Series of Essays. By

 etc. Second Edition, with Corrections and Additions. Crown 

 8vo. 8s. 6d. (For other Works by the same Author, see Cata- 

 logue of History and Travels.) 



Air. Wallace has good claims to be considered as an independent 

 originator of the theory of natural selection. Dr. Hooker, in 

 his address to the British Associatioti, spoke thus of the author: 

 "Of Mr. Wallace and his many contributions to philosophical 

 biology it is not easy to speak without enthusiasm ; for, pulling 

 aside their great merits, he, throughout his writings, with a 

 modesty as rare as I believe it to be unconscious, forgets his <nvn 

 unquestioned claim to the honour of having originated indepen- 

 dently of Air. Darivin, the theories which he so ably defends." 

 The Saturday Review says : "He has combined an abundance of 

 iresh and original facts with a liveliness and sagacity of reasoning 

 which are not often displayed so effectively on so small a scale."
