x.] MR. DARWIN^S CRITICS. 2G9 



selection is, in general, exclusively associated with the 

 name of Mr. Darwin, &quot; on account of the noble self- 

 abnegation of Mr. Wallace.&quot; As I have said, no one 

 can honour Mr. Wallace more than I do, both for what 

 he has done and for what he has not done, in his rela 

 tion to Mr, Darwin. And perhaps nothing is more 

 creditable to him than his frank declaration that he 

 could not have written such a work as the &quot; Origin of 

 Species/ But, by this declaration, the person most 

 directly interested in the matter repudiates, by antici 

 pation, Mr. Mivart s suggestion that Mr. Darwin s emi 

 nence is more or less due to Mr. Wallace s modesty.
