110 CHARLES DARWIN. 



Ly ell's teachings: "I never forget that almost 

 everything which I have done in science I owe to 

 the study of his great works." Huxley says in his 

 obituary of Charles Darwin (reprinted in "Dar- 

 winiana," 1893, p. 268): "It is hardly too much 

 to say that Darwin's greatest work is the outcome 

 of the unflinching application to Biology of the lead- 

 ing idea and the method applied in the * Principles ' 

 to Geology." Every biologist who realises — as who 

 can help realising ? — the boundless opportunities 

 which Darwin's work has opened for him, will feel 

 that he too owes a deep personal debt to Darwin's 

 great teacher.
