FEEL most deeply that this whole question of creation is too 

 profound for human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on 

 the mind of Newton ! Let each man hope and believe what he can. 

 CHARLES DARWIN to Asa Gray. 



.4^ ONE have fought better, and none have been more fortunate 

 31* than Charles Darwin. He found a great truth trodden underfoot, 

 reviled by bigots, and ridiculed by all the world ; he lived long enough 

 to see it, chiefly by his own efforts, irrefragably established in science, 

 inseparably incorporated into the common thoughts of men. What 

 shall a man desire more than this ? 



THOMAS HUXLEY, 

 Address, April 27, 1882
