Стр. 71 - There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved.18 Darwin always knew that his views would be controversial. A few days before The Origin of Species appeared, Darwin wrote, in a letter to Wallace, 'God knows what...

Стр. 55 - The natural history of these islands (of the Galapagos Archipelago) is eminently curious, and well deserves attention.

Стр. 69 - When we can feel assured that all the individuals of the same species, and all the closely allied species of most genera, have within, a not very remote period descended from one parent, and have migrated from some one birth-place; and when we better know the many means of migration, then, by the light which geology now throws, and will continue to throw, on former changes of climate and of the level of the land, we shall surely be enabled to trace in an admirable manner the former migrations of...
Стр. 33 - Man, therefore, may be said to have been trying an experiment on a gigantic scale ; and it is an experiment which nature during the long lapse of time has incessantly tried.
