 commentaries upon Mr. Darwin's great work have made 

 their appearance. Those who have perused that re- 

 markable chapter of the " Antiquity of Man," in which 

 Sir Charles Lyell draws a parallel between the develop-

 a most instructive and philosophical pamphlet (an excel- 

 lent notice of which is to be found in the Reader, 

 for February 27th of this year) supporting similar views
