Excerpt from Species Not Transmutable, Nor the Result of Secondary Causes: Being a Critical Examination of Mr. Darwin's Work Entitled Origin and Variation of Species
The following pages were written some months ago, and their publication has been delayed by circumstances to which I need not further allude. I offer the book now to the consideration of the public With a perfect consciousness that it has many defects for Which I must claim indul gence. The subject is one of deep importance; much more so indeed than would appear to many, from a thoughtless perusal of the work criticised. I trust I have dealt With the book fairly. I entirely disclaim all personal feeling in the strong language I have sometimes felt bound to use. No one has derived greater pleasure than I have in past days from the study of Mr. Darwin's other Works.
