in this work. . . . Sir IVyville T/Kwisori's style is particularly 

 attractive ; he is easy and gj-acefiil, but vigorous and exceedingly 

 happy in the choice of language, and throughout the work there are 

 touches which shoiu that science has not ba?iished sentimc7it from

 Dr. Hooker, in his address to the British Association, spoke this 

 of the author : "Of J\Ir. IVallace and his many contributio?is 

 to philosophical biotogy it is iiot easy to speak without enthu- 

 siastn; for, putting aside their great tnerits, lie, througliout his 

 writings, with a modesty as rare as I believe it to be uncon- 

 scious, forgets his own unquestioned claim to the honour of 

 - having originated independently of Mr. Darv'in, the theories 

 which he so ably defends.'''' The Saturday Review says: "He 

 has combined an abundance oJ fresh aiui oiigiiml facts with a 

 liveliness and sagacity of reasoning luhich are not often displayed 

 so effectively on so small a scale."

 The Times says: ^^ Altogether it is a wondeiful and fascinating 

 story, whatever objections may be taken to theories founded upon 

 it. Mr. Wallace has not attc?npted to add to. its interest by any 

 adorn7nents of style ; he has given a simple and char statement of 

 intri>isically interesting facts, and what fie considers to be legiti- 

 mate inductions from them. A'aturalists ougfit to be grateful to 

 hint for fiaving undertaken so toilsovie a task. The work, indeed, 

 is a credit to cill concerned — the author, the publishers, tlie artist — 

 unfortunately now no more — of tlie attractive illustrations — last 

 but hv no means least, Mr. Stanford's map-designer."
