Since the proof-sheets of the Appendix to this book left my hands, finally corrected, and too late for me to be able to recast the first of the two chapters that compose it, I hear, with the most profound regret, of the death of Mr. Charles Darwin. It being still possible for me to refer to this event in a preface, I hasten to say how much it grates upon me to appear to renew my attack upon Mr. Darwin under the present circumstances. I have insisted in each of my three books on Evolution upon the immensity of the service which Mr. Darwin rendered to that transcendently important theory. In “Life and Habit,” I said: “To the end of time, if the question be asked, ‘Who taught people to believe in Evolution?’ the answer must be that it was Mr. Darwin.” This is true; and it is hard to see what palm of higher praise can be awarded to any philosopher
