Abstract
THE author has evidently spent much time and labour in writing this life of Charles Darwin and presenting it in a moderate-sized volume of 351 pages, printed in a type pleasant to read, with eight illustrations, including three of Darwin (in 1840, 1854 and 1881), one of his wife and three of his ancestors. The list of "works quoted or otherwise utilised"on pages 333-342 is an indication of the ground which was traversed in its preparation, with the fruitful results shown in the excellent choice of significant passages for quotation.
