2010 | How much time have I lost by illness?" |
2010 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
2010 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I enquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
5765 | Can any light be thrown on the steps by which these remarkable powers were gradually acquired? |
5765 | Now what are we to infer from these facts? |
5765 | Saxifraga rotundifolia(? |
5765 | Uric;(?) |
5765 | We are naturally led to inquire what is the use of this movement which lasts for so short a time? |
5765 | What are we to infer from these facts? |
31558 | (_ d._) orifice of acoustic(?) |
31558 | (_ e._) Orifice of the acoustic(?) |

31558 | Acoustic(?) |
31558 | Although it may be admitted that Lithotrya has the power of enlarging its cavity, how does it first bore down into the rock? |
31558 | Eastern Seas[60](?) |
31558 | I am tempted to believe, that the largely developed olfactory sacks, and perhaps, likewise, acoustic(?) |
31558 | I could not distinguish the orifices of the acoustic(?) |
31558 | MALES, two, lodged in hollows, on the under sides of the scuta; pouch- formed, with four(?) |
31558 | Maxillæ, with three(?) |
31558 | May we not, then, safely conclude that these parasites are the males of the_ Ibla Cumingii_? |

31558 | The acoustic(?) |
31558 | The aperture leading into the acoustic(?) |
31558 | The main rostral channel( or artery?) |
31558 | The posterior(?) |
31558 | Why, then, is Ibla unisexual; yet, becoming, in the most paradoxical manner, from its earliest youth, essentially bisexual? |
31558 | _ Acoustic_(?) |
31558 | anatifera_(?) |
28897 | Among animals of good blood, are there not always some which are superior to the rest?" |
28897 | And secondly, if they so differ, how have they become thus adapted? |
28897 | But can it be safely maintained that such changed conditions, if acting during a long series of generations, would not produce a marked effect? |
28897 | But is this the case with smaller changes? |
28897 | By what links can the Cochin fowl be closely united with others? |
28897 | Can our prize- cattle and sheep be still further improved? |
28897 | Can this parallelism be accidental? |
28897 | Did He ordain that the crop and tail- feathers of the pigeon should vary in order that the fancier might make his grotesque pouter and fantail breeds? |
28897 | Do you take care about breeding and pairing them? |
28897 | Does it not rather indicate some real bond of connection? |
28897 | How can we account for these facts? |
28897 | How then could these admirably co- ordinated modifications of structure have been acquired? |
28897 | How, again, can we explain to ourselves the inherited effects of the use or disuse of particular organs? |
28897 | Is it an illusion that these recently improved animals safely transmit their excellent qualities even when crossed with other breeds? |
28897 | May not the early closing of a deep wound, as in the case of the extirpation of the scapula, prevent the formation or protrusion of the nascent limb? |
28897 | Now is it possible to conceive external conditions more closely alike than those to which the buds on the same tree are exposed? |
28897 | There are two distinct questions: Do varieties descended from the same species differ in their power of living under different climates? |
28897 | They might ask whether the half- wild Arabs were led by theoretical notions to keep pedigrees of their horses? |
28897 | To recur to our former illustration of the Irish elk, it may be asked what part has suffered in consequence of the immense development of the horns? |
28897 | What would the floriculturist care for any change in the structure of the ovarium or of the ovules? |
28897 | Where can Flora''s Garland be found equal to those at Slough? |
28897 | Where do high- coloured flowers revel better than at Woolwich and Birmingham? |
28897 | Why have pedigrees been scrupulously kept and published of the Shorthorn cattle, and more recently of the Hereford breed? |
28897 | Will a gooseberry ever weigh more than that produced by"London"in 1852? |
28897 | Will a race- horse ever be reared fleeter than Eclipse? |
28897 | Will future varieties of wheat and other grain produce heavier crops than our present varieties? |

2300 | ''Why do the women wear these things?'' |
2300 | ), passes over sexual selection, and asks,"What explanation does the law of natural selection give of such specific varieties as these?" |
2300 | ); Erithacus(? |
2300 | ; but who can say at what age this occurs in our young children? |
2300 | A friend of his asked one of these men,"How is it that every one whom I meet is so fine looking, not only your men but your women?" |
2300 | Are partridges, as they are now coloured, better protected than if they had resembled quails? |
2300 | Are we not justified in believing that the female exerts a choice, and that she receives the addresses of the male who pleases her most? |
2300 | Are we to suppose that these black marks and the crimson colour of the eyes have been preserved or augmented through sexual selection in the males? |
2300 | At what age does the new- born infant possess the power of abstraction, or become self- conscious, and reflect on its own existence? |
2300 | But can this be so confidently said of sexual selection? |
2300 | But what are we to conclude with respect to certain birds in which, for instance, the eyes differ slightly in colour in the two sexes? |
2300 | But what are we to say about the rudimentary and variable vertebrae of the terminal portion of the tail, forming the os coccyx? |
2300 | Can it be believed that they would thus act to no purpose during their courtship? |
2300 | Do the races or species of men, whichever term may be applied, encroach on and replace one another, so that some finally become extinct? |
2300 | Does the male parade his charms with so much pomp and rivalry for no purpose? |
2300 | Foetus of an Orang(?). |
2300 | How are such races distributed over the world; and how, when crossed, do they react on each other in the first and succeeding generations? |
2300 | How is it that there are birds enough ready to replace immediately a lost mate of either sex? |
2300 | How often do we see birds which fly easily, gliding and sailing through the air obviously for pleasure? |
2300 | How then are we to account for male mammals possessing mammae? |
2300 | How, then, are we to account for the beautiful or even gorgeous colours of many animals in the lowest classes? |
2300 | It may well be asked, could such artistically shaded ornaments have been formed by means of sexual selection? |
2300 | It would be no advantage and some loss of power if each sex searched for the other; but why should the male almost always be the seeker? |
2300 | May we then infer that man became divested of hair from having aboriginally inhabited some tropical land? |
2300 | Must we attribute all these appendages of hair or skin to mere purposeless variability in the male? |
2300 | Now do not these actions clearly shew that she had in her mind a general idea or concept that some animal is to be discovered and hunted? |
2300 | Now, what is the difference between such actions, when performed by an uncultivated man, and by one of the higher animals? |
2300 | Now, what must we conclude with respect to such sexual differences as these? |
2300 | On the eastern coast, the negro boys when they saw Burton, cried out,"Look at the white man; does he not look like a white ape?" |
2300 | On the west coast of Africa the little black- weavers( Ploceus?) |
2300 | Or are we to suppose that the females of these several species especially require spurs for their defence? |
2300 | Or does she exert a choice, and prefer certain males? |
2300 | We are naturally led to enquire, where was the birthplace of man at that stage of descent when our progenitors diverged from the Catarrhine stock? |
2300 | What ancient nation, as the same author asks, can be named that was originally monogamous? |
2300 | What is this but energy and perseverance?) |
2300 | What kind of a person would she be without the pelele? |
2300 | What then are we to conclude from these facts and considerations? |
2300 | What, then, are we to conclude in regard to the many fishes, both sexes of which are splendidly coloured? |
2300 | When I say to my terrier, in an eager voice( and I have made the trial many times),"Hi, hi, where is it?" |
2300 | Who can doubt that the refusal to fight a duel through fear has caused many men an agony of shame? |
2300 | Why do not such spare birds immediately pair together? |
2300 | Why should a man feel that he ought to obey one instinctive desire rather than another? |
2300 | or why does he regret having stolen food from hunger? |
2300 | who after asking, does man originate in a different way from a dog, bird, frog or fish? |
944 | Any fish can you do us the favour of giving?--"Oh! |
944 | ( who knows?) |
944 | --"Any soup?" |
944 | --"Quien sabe? |
944 | A question often occurred to me-- how long does any vestige of a fallen tree remain? |
944 | Again, on what have the reef- building corals, which can not live at great depths, based their encircling structures? |
944 | Amongst many other questions, he asked me,"Now that George Rex is dead, how many more of the family of Rexes are yet alive?" |
944 | And what becomes of these worms when, during the long summer, the surface is hardened into a solid layer of salt? |
944 | And will not the manner of its descend proclaim throughout the district to the whole family of carrion- feeders, that their prey is at hand? |
944 | But it may yet be asked, how has the solid basalt been moved? |
944 | But what has caused these reefs to spring up at such great distances from the shores of the included islands? |
944 | Can we believe that any power, acting for a time short of infinity, could have denuded the granite over so many thousand square leagues? |
944 | Did man, after his first inroad into South America, destroy, as has been suggested, the unwieldy Megatherium and the other Edentata? |
944 | Do the very numerous spiders and rapacious Hymenoptera supply the place of the carnivorous beetles? |
944 | Do they mistake a man in the distance for their chief enemy the puma? |
944 | Does it not arise from the difficulty of several females associating together, and finding a male ready to undertake the office of incubation? |
944 | Does the black fetid mud, abounding with organic matter, yield the sulphur and ultimately the sulphuric acid? |
944 | Does this not partly explain the circumstance? |
944 | Have the subsequently introduced species consumed the food of the great antecedent races? |
944 | Have the succulent, salt- loving plants, which are well known to contain much soda, the power of decomposing the muriate? |
944 | He added,"I have one other question: Do ladies in any other part of the world wear such large combs?" |
944 | His brother said( York imitating his manner),"What that?" |
944 | How can this faculty be explained? |
944 | I asked him if he had ever heard of the Avestruz Petise? |
944 | I asked,"Are they Indians?" |
944 | I assured them I was a sort of Christian; but they would not hear of it-- appealing to my own words,"Do not your padres, your very bishops, marry?" |
944 | I suggested this; but all the answer I could extort was,"Quien sabe?" |
944 | In another elegant little coralline( Crisia? |
944 | Is it not an uncommon case, thus to find a remarkable degree of aerial transparency with such a state of weather? |
944 | Is it not most wonderful that men should have attempted such operations, without the use of iron or gunpowder? |
944 | Is it not possible that the mixture of large bodies of fresh and salt water may disturb the electrical equilibrium? |
944 | Is this owing to the state of the body during sleep, or to a greater abundance of miasma at such times? |
944 | It was laughable, but almost pitiable, to hear him speak to his wild brother in English, and then ask him in Spanish("no sabe?") |
944 | Might it not thus readily be overlooked? |
944 | Mr. Bushby has allowed him to finish his discourse, and then has quietly replied by some answer such as,"What else shall your slave do for you?" |
944 | Must we believe that it was fairly pitched up in the air, and thus turned? |
944 | My companions knew nothing about them, and only answered my queries by their imperturbable"quien sabe?" |
944 | On what then, I repeat, are these barrier reefs based? |
944 | Or does curiosity overcome their timidity? |
944 | Secondly, what causes the length and narrowness of the bands? |
944 | Sir F. Head, speaking of the inhabitants, says,"They eat their dinners, and it is so very hot, they go to sleep-- and could they do better?" |
944 | They asked me,"Why do you not become a Christian-- for our religion is certain?" |
944 | Was he at a loss how to classify them, and did he consequently think that silence was the more prudent course? |
944 | Was this effect produced beneath the depths of a profound ocean? |
944 | We here have the puzzle that so frequently occurs in the case of musquitoes-- on the blood of what animals do these insects commonly feed? |
944 | What can be more singular than these structures? |
944 | What cause can have altered, in a wide, uninhabited, and rarely- visited country, the range of an animal like this? |
944 | What is the cause of this difference in their shyness? |
944 | What other troops in the world are so independent? |
944 | What shall we say of the extinction of the horse? |
944 | What would a florist say to whole tracts, so thickly covered by the Verbena melindres, as, even at a distance, to appear of the most gaudy scarlet? |
944 | What would become of the lofty houses, thickly packed cities, great manufactories, the beautiful public and private edifices? |
944 | What, it may naturally be asked, was the character of the vegetation at that period; was the country as wretchedly sterile as it now is? |
944 | What, then, has exterminated so many species and whole genera? |
944 | When I exclaimed that this appeared rather inhuman, he answered,"Why, what can be done? |
944 | When an animal is killed by the sportsman in a lonely valley, may he not all the while be watched from above by the sharp- sighted bird? |
944 | Where would one of the lower or higher classes in Europe, have shown such feeling politeness to a poor and miserable object of a degraded race? |
944 | Which of us, for instance, could follow an American Indian through a sentence of more than three words? |
944 | Whilst beholding these savages, one asks, whence have they come? |
944 | Who can doubt that these qualities are united in the banana, the cocoa- nut, the many kinds of palm, the orange, and the bread- fruit tree? |
944 | Who from seeing choice plants in a hothouse, can magnify some into the dimensions of forest trees, and crowd others into an entangled jungle? |
944 | Who would believe in this age that such atrocities could be committed in a Christian civilized country? |
944 | Who would ever have imagined that a little soft fish could have destroyed the great and savage shark? |
944 | Why have not the still more level, the greener and more fertile Pampas, which are serviceable to mankind, produced an equal impression? |
944 | Why, then, and the case is not peculiar to myself, have these arid wastes taken so firm a hold on my memory? |
944 | Why, with their wide and deep moat- like channels, do they stand so far from the included land? |
944 | Would he not attribute it to a flood having swept over the surface of the land, rather than to the common order of things? |
944 | Yet the host of this venda, being asked if he knew anything of a whip which one of the party had lost, gruffly answered,"How should I know? |
944 | [ 19] Well may one be allowed to ask, what is an individual? |
944 | [ 3] Captain Sulivan, who, since his voyage in the Beagle, has been employed on the survey of the Falkland Islands, heard from a sealer in( 1842? |
944 | or did a covering of strata formerly extend over it, which has since been removed? |
3704 | Any fish can you do us the favour of giving? |
3704 | ( who knows?) |

3704 | Amongst many other questions, he asked me,"Now that George Rex is dead, how many more of the family of Rexes are yet alive?" |
3704 | And what are the boasted glories of the illimitable ocean? |
3704 | And what becomes of these worms when, during the long summer, the surface is hardened into a solid layer of salt? |

38629 | Lord Mayor.--Probably the clergyman of the parish might exert some influence over them? 38629 ''What have they to bring forward?'' 38629 ( Do you mean_ living_ naturalists? 38629 ( Shall I?) 38629 * 1854? 38629 * 1870? 38629 * 1874? 38629 And is he willing to publish my Abstract? 38629 And now I should like to know in what one particular are you less of a blackguard than I am? 38629 And what do you think would be fair terms for an edition? 38629 And( 2)--When and how did he conceive the manner in which species are modified; when did he begin to believe in Natural Selection? 38629 Are you not acting unfairly towards yourself? 38629 As for Christ''s, did you ever see such a college for producing Captains and Apostles? 38629 As to your grand principle--_natural selection_--what is it but a secondary consequence of supposed, or known, primary facts? 38629 At the end of one of the parts, which was exceedingly impressive, he turned round to me and said, with a deep sigh,''How''s your backbone?'' |
38629 | But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine? |
38629 | But may I beg of you one favour, it will be doing me the greatest kindness, if you will send me a decided answer, yes or no? |
38629 | By the way, would you object to send this and your answer to Hooker to be forwarded to me? |
38629 | Could I have a clean proof to send to Wallace? |
38629 | Could you tell me pretty soon what plants you can give me; and then I shall know what to order? |

38629 | Darwin?" |
38629 | Development is a better word, because more close to the cause of the fact? |
38629 | Do n''t you think so?... |
38629 | Do you believe( and I really should like to hear) that God_ designedly_ killed this man? |
38629 | Do you intend to follow out your views, and if so, would you like at some future time to have my few references and notes? |
38629 | Do you not think his having sent me this sketch ties my hands?... |
38629 | Do you recollect how you all tormented me about his beautiful tail?" |
38629 | Do you think any diamond beetle will ever give me so much pleasure as our old friend_ crux- major_?... |
38629 | Does he know at all of the subject of the book? |
38629 | Does not Lyell give some argument about varieties being difficult to keep[ true] on account of pollen from other plants? |
38629 | For how could you influence Jupiter Olympus and make him give three and a half columns to pure science? |
38629 | Have not some men a nice notion of experimentising? |
38629 | He adds that in the case of the author"the restless curiosity of the child to know the''what for?'' |
38629 | He and Bernard used to compare their tastes;_ e.g._, in liking brown sugar better than white,& c.; the result being,"We always agree, do n''t we?" |
38629 | He asked me at once,''Shall you bear being told that I want the cabin to myself-- when I want to be alone? |
38629 | He said one day to me,"Why do n''t you give up your fiddle- faddle of geology and zoology, and turn to the occult sciences?" |
38629 | Here I enjoyed five[?] |
38629 | How gets on your book? |
38629 | How is your health? |
38629 | How much time have I lost by illness?" |
38629 | How soon shall I come to you in the morning? |
38629 | I find my old results about the astonishing sensitiveness of the nervous system(!?) |
38629 | I have had a letter telling me that seeds_ must_ have_ great_ power of resisting salt water, for otherwise how could they get to islands''? |
38629 | I send it by the car to- morrow morning; if you make up your mind directly will you send me an answer on the following day by the same means? |
38629 | I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction? |
38629 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
38629 | If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder? |
38629 | If you do refer to me at any length, can you send me a proof and I will return it to you at once? |
38629 | If you should happen to be_ acquainted_ with the author, for Heaven- sake tell me who he is? |
38629 | In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend? |
38629 | In the first place, at p. 480, it can not surely be said that the most eminent naturalists have rejected the view of the mutability of species? |
38629 | Is it fair to take advantage of my having freely, though unasked, communicated to you my ideas, and thus prevent me forestalling you?" |
38629 | Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body? |
38629 | Is it on his grandfather''s or his grandmother''s side that the ape ancestry comes in?'' |
38629 | Is it so? |
38629 | Is she ought but a pestilent abstraction, like dust cast in our eyes to obscure the workings of an Intelligent First Cause of all?" |
38629 | Is this not curious? |
38629 | It may well be asked how is it possible to reconcile this case with the theory of natural selection?" |
38629 | MY DEAR HOOKER,--What is the good of having a friend, if one may not boast to him? |
38629 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I inquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
38629 | My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature? |
38629 | My difficulty is, why are caterpillars sometimes so beautifully and artistically coloured? |
38629 | Now what think you? |
38629 | Ought not these cases to make one very cautious when one doubts about the use of all parts? |
38629 | Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause? |
38629 | Rice and peas and_ calavanses_ are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more? |
38629 | Secondly, can you advise me whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms? |
38629 | Share profits, or what? |
38629 | This is the true way to solve a problem? |
38629 | Thus he wrote to Sir J. D. Hooker( 1847? |
38629 | Two questions naturally occur to one:( 1)--When and how did Darwin become convinced that species are mutable? |
38629 | We all admit development as a fact of history: but how came it about? |
38629 | We all laughed heartily over some of the sentences.... Who can it be? |
38629 | What are her image and attributes, when dragged from her wordy lurking- place? |
38629 | What is Erasmus''s direction? |
38629 | What is the dose? |
38629 | What makes a tuft of feathers come on a cock''s head, or moss on a moss- rose? |
38629 | What on earth shall you do with your boys? |
38629 | What was the reason that a Naturalist was not long ago fixed upon? |
38629 | When a sentence became hopelessly involved, he would ask himself,"now what_ do_ you want to say?" |
38629 | Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing? |
38629 | Who can the author be? |
38629 | Who is she? |
38629 | Will you be kind enough to write to me one line by_ return of post_, saying whether you are now at Cambridge? |
38629 | Will you think over this, and some time, either by letter or when we meet, tell me what you think?... |
38629 | Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey''s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind? |
38629 | Would it do to send my tax- cart early in the morning, on a day that was not frosty, lining the cart with mats, and arriving here before night? |
38629 | Would it not be better at least to share the £ 72 8s.? |
38629 | Would not the Zoological Society be the best place? |
38629 | Would there be purpose if the lowest organisms alone, destitute of consciousness, existed in the moon? |
38629 | You idle old wretch, why have you not answered my last letter, which I am sure I forwarded to Clifton nearly three weeks ago? |
38629 | [ 123] In 1860 he wrote to Lyell:"Is not Krohn a good fellow? |
38629 | [ 209] In a letter to Mr. Huxley my father wrote:--"Have you seen the last_ Saturday Review_? |
38629 | [ 224] Does it not hurt your Yankee pride that we thrash you so confoundedly? |

22728 | Recapitulation Why do we wish to reject the Theory of Common Descent? |
22728 | Recent as the yet discovered fossil mammifers of S. America are, who will pretend to say that very many intermediate forms may not have existed? |

22728 | Why again is the same species much more abundant in one district of a country than in another district? |
22728 | Why on the ordinary theory should the Galapagos Islands abound with terrestrial reptiles? |
22728 | Why on the theory of absolute creations should this large and diversified island only have from 400 to 500(? |
22728 | Why were the plants in Eastern and Western Australia, though wholly different as species, formed on the same peculiar Australian types? |

2087 | And now I should like to know in what one particular are you less of a blackguard than I am? |
2087 | And what do you think would be fair terms for an edition? |
2087 | And where you got it? |
2087 | And why can not you come here afterward and WORK?... |
2087 | Are Arctic plants often apetalous? |
2087 | Are not these a jolly lot of assumptions? |
2087 | Are these new species created by the production, at long intervals, of an offspring different in species from the parents? |
2087 | Are they gradually evolved from some embryo substance? |
2087 | Are you not acting unfairly towards yourself? |
2087 | As for Christ''s, did you ever see such a college for producing Captains and Apostles? |
2087 | As you live on sandy soil, have you lizards at all common? |
2087 | At the end of one of the parts, which was exceedingly impressive, he turned round to me and said, with a deep sigh,''How''s your backbone?''" |
2087 | But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine? |
2087 | But have we nowhere any last wreck of a continent, in the midst of the ocean? |
2087 | But may I beg of you one favour, it will be doing me the greatest kindness, if you will send me a decided answer, yes or no? |
2087 | But probably the best answer to those who talk of Darwinism meaning the reign of"chance,"is to ask them what they themselves understand by"chance"? |
2087 | But would you like for me to send the last and perfect revises of the sheets as I correct them? |
2087 | By the way, have you read the article, in the''Edinburgh Review,''on M. Comte,''Cours de la Philosophie''( or some such title)? |
2087 | Can St. Helena be classed, though remotely, either with Africa or S. America? |
2087 | Can you tell me of any good and SPECULATIVE foreigners to whom it would be worth while to send copies of my book, on the''Origin of Species''? |

2087 | Could you give me any idea how many pages of the Journal could probably be spared me? |
2087 | Could you send it me? |

2087 | Did crossing the Acacia do any good? |
2087 | Do they believe that anything in this universe happens without reason or without a cause? |

2087 | Have you ever thought on this point? |
2087 | Have you not found it so in the Malay Archipelago? |
2087 | Have you read''Cosmos''yet? |

2087 | How is Henslow getting on? |
2087 | How much time have I lost by illness?" |
2087 | How should you like to be suddenly debarred from seeing every person and place, which you have ever known and loved, for five years? |
2087 | How soon shall I come to you in the morning? |
2087 | I dare say you will have thought of measuring exactly the width of any dikes at the top and bottom of any great cliff( which was done by Mr. Searle[?] |
2087 | I had formerly some wild cabbage seeds, which I gave to some one, was it to you? |
2087 | I have almost made up my mind to reject the rule of priority in this case; would you grudge the trouble to send me your opinion? |
2087 | I have had a good deal of correspondence about this matter[ with Henslow? |
2087 | I have had a letter telling me that seeds MUST have GREAT power of resisting salt water, for otherwise how could they get to islands? |
2087 | I have one question to ask: Would it be any good to send a copy of my book to Decaisne? |
2087 | I in one haul of my net took five distinct species; is this not quite extraordinary?... |
2087 | I must get you to introduce me to him; would he be a good and sociable man for Dropmore? |
2087 | I never perceived anything of it, have you? |
2087 | I ought to be ashamed to trouble you so much, but will you SEND ONE LINE to inform me? |
2087 | I quite agree on the little occasional intermigration between lands[ islands?] |
2087 | I read and re- read Humboldt; do you do the same? |
2087 | I remember how strongly I answered, and I presume you wanted to know what I should feel; whoever would have dreamed of your being so crafty? |
2087 | I send it by the car to- morrow morning; if you make up your mind directly will you send me an answer on the following day by the same means? |
2087 | I shall order Bentham; is it not a pity that you should waste time in tabulating varieties? |
2087 | I should EXTREMELY like to see your reasons published in detail, for it"riles"me( this is a proper expression, is it not?) |
2087 | I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction? |
2087 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
2087 | I was so ignorant I do not even know there were three varieties of Dorking fowl: how do they differ?... |
2087 | If I did publish a short sketch, where on earth should I publish it? |
2087 | If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder? |
2087 | In South America to the east, the non- volcanic[ Silla?] |
2087 | In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend? |
2087 | Is it fair to take advantage of my having freely, though unasked, communicated to you my ideas, and thus prevent me forestalling you?" |
2087 | Is it not possible that the same circumstances which have preserved the vegetation in situ, should have preserved drifted plants? |
2087 | Is it not so with Cryptogamic plants; have not most of the species wide ranges, in those genera which are mundane? |
2087 | Is it not the case that sailors are prone to settle in domestic and quiet habits? |
2087 | Is it not the only island in the Atlantic which is not volcanic? |
2087 | Is it so? |
2087 | Is not that grand? |
2087 | Is not this a prospect to keep up the most flagging spirit? |
2087 | Is there any breed of Delamere forest ponies? |
2087 | Is there not some grand Russian Flora, which perhaps has varieties marked? |
2087 | Is this not beautiful? |
2087 | Is your Introduction fairly finished? |
2087 | It is simply expressed in a letter to Falconer( 1863? |

2087 | My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature? |
2087 | My old Gyp, Impey, was astounded to hear that he was my son, and very simply asked,"Why, has he been long married?" |
2087 | Now what think you? |
2087 | One other question: You used to keep hawks; do you at all know, after eating a bird, how soon after they throw up the pellet? |
2087 | Or are the species so created produced without parents? |
2087 | Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?... |
2087 | Or would the tendency be to record the varieties about equally in genera of all sizes? |
2087 | P.S.--When will you return to Kew? |
2087 | Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause? |
2087 | Pray tell me what you think? |
2087 | Rice and peas and calavanses are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more? |
2087 | SOMETIME( when you are better) I should like very much to hear a little about your"Little Call Duck"; why so- called? |
2087 | Secondly, can you advise me, whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms? |
2087 | Share profits, or what? |
2087 | Shrewsbury[ 1845?]. |
2087 | Sir P. Egerton has, I believe, some quite thoroughbred chestnut horses; have any of them the spinal stripe? |
2087 | There have been shot also five Waxen Chatterers, three of which Shaw has for sale; would you like to purchase a specimen? |
2087 | To a NON- BOTANIST the chalk has the most peculiar aspect of any flora in England; why will you not come here to make your observations? |
2087 | Urge the use of the dredge in the Tropics; how little or nothing we know of the limit of life downward in the hot seas? |
2087 | Was it through final causes to keep the plants warm? |

2087 | What think you? |
2087 | What was the reason that a Naturalist was not long ago fixed upon? |
2087 | When a sentence got hopelessly involved, he would ask himself,"now what DO you want to say?" |
2087 | Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing? |
2087 | Why should Naturalists append their own names to new species, when Mineralogists and Chemists do not do so to new substances? |
2087 | Why? |
2087 | Will not this account for the odd genera with few species which stand between great groups, which we are bound to consider the increasing ones?" |
2087 | Will you be kind enough to write to me one line by RETURN OF POST, saying whether you are now at Cambridge? |
2087 | Will you keep this address? |
2087 | Will you perfect your assistance by further considering, for a little, the subject this way? |
2087 | Will you so far oblige me by occasionally thinking over this? |
2087 | Will you turn this in your head when, if ever, you have leisure? |
2087 | Will you turn this in your mind? |
2087 | Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey''s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind? |
2087 | Would it not be better at least to share the 72 pounds 8 shillings? |
2087 | Would it not be well in the Alpine plants to append the very same addition which you have now sent me in MS.? |
2087 | Would not this have been a fine excursion, and in sixteen months I should have been with you all? |
2087 | Would there be purpose if the lowest organisms alone, destitute of consciousness existed in the moon? |
2087 | Would you believe it credible? |
2087 | Would you give such men medals? |
2087 | You idle old wretch, why have you not answered my last letter, which I am sure I forwarded to Clifton nearly three weeks ago? |
2087 | Your remarks on the distinctness( so unpleasant to me) of the Himalayan Rubi, willows, etc., compared with those of northern[ Europe? |

2088 | All that you say seems very sensible, but could a review in the strict sense of the word be filled with readable matter? |

2088 | But does not the difficulty rest much on our silently assuming that we know more than we do? |
2088 | But how is it in the conjugation of Confervae-- is not one of the two individuals here in fact male, and the other female? |

2088 | Indeed, any dried dimorphic plants would be gratefully received... Did my Lythrum paper interest you? |
2088 | Is a shudder akin to the rigor or shivering before fever? |
2088 | Is it not also a difficulty that quadrupeds appear to recognise plants more by their[ scent] than their appearance? |
2088 | Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body? |
2088 | Is it not humiliating to be thus killed by a man of eighty- six, who evidently never dreamed that he was killing me? |
2088 | Is not this latter case heat rigor? |
2088 | Is not this marvellous? |
2088 | Is not your feeling a remnant of the deeply impressed one on all our minds, that a species is an entity, something quite distinct from a variety? |

2740 | I am sure I have read somewhere of the cones of Lepidodendron being found round the stump of a tree, or am I confusing something else? |
2740 | I daresay that you are right in that nectar was originally secreted within the staminal tube; but why has not the one stamen long since cohered? |
2740 | I gather there are a good many muscles in various parts of the body which are in this same state: could you specify any of the best cases? |
2740 | I have been much interested by what you say on the rostellum exciting pollen to protrude tubes; but are you sure that the rostellum does excite them? |
2740 | I have lately observed that you have one great authority( C. Prevost),[ not] that authority signifies a[ farthing?] |
2740 | I presume that these seeds can not be covered with any attractive pulp? |

2740 | I wonder whether the ovules could be thus fertilised? |
2740 | If so, can the wrinkling of the lower eyelids, which has often perplexed me, act in pushing back the eyeball? |

2740 | If you chance to meet Ramsay will you ask him whether he has it? |
2740 | If you have reflected on this point, what do you think of it? |

2740 | If you want to know further particulars of my experiments on Monochaetum(?) |
2740 | In an old note of yours( which I have just found) you say that you have a sensitive Schrankia: could this be lent me? |
2740 | In any case, how in the name of Heaven can it make a hollow in solid rock, which surely must be a work of many years? |
2740 | In such cases what outline do you give to the upper surface of the lava in the dike connecting them? |

2740 | May not a volcano be likened to a protruding and cracked portion on a vast natural high- pressure boiler, formed by the surrounding area of country? |
2740 | May there be some sexual relation between A. Loddigesii and luteola; they seem very close? |
2740 | Muller wrote:"Are the three which grow near each other seedlings from the same mother- plant or perhaps from seeds of the same capsule? |
2740 | Now is not this structure a good argument that I interpret the homologies of the sides of clinandrum rightly? |
2740 | Now the question is, what think you of the offer? |
2740 | Now, can you tell me whether each spine has likewise an oblique unstriped or striped muscle, as figured by Lister? |
2740 | Now, could you open the stomachs of these ants and examine the contents, so as to prove or disprove this remarkable hypothesis? |
2740 | Now, if in your power, would you observe the position of the pistil in different plants, in lately opened flowers of the same age? |
2740 | Now, is this not odd? |
2740 | Now, some persons can move the skin of their hairy heads; and is this not effected by the panniculus? |

2740 | Shall you do any levelling? |
2740 | Should you care to see an elaborate German pamphlet by Hermann Muller on the gradation and distinction of the forms of Epipactis and of Platanthera? |
2740 | The map of Etna, which I have been just looking at, looks like a sudden falling in, does it not? |
2740 | These notions are at least possible, and would they not vitiate your argument? |
2740 | Thirdly: Can you give me seeds of any Rubiaceae of the sub- order Cinchoneae, as Spermacoce, Diodia, Mitchella, Oldenlandia? |

2740 | Will you not be puzzled when you come to the orchids? |
2740 | Will you suggest to Oliver to review this paper? |
2740 | Would a comparison of the ashes of terrestrial peat and coal give any clue? |
2740 | Would it be worth while to send a corrected copy of the"Courant"to the"Gardeners''Chronicle?" |
2740 | Would it not be better to dye the tail alone and crown of head, so as not to make too great difference? |
2740 | Would it not be truer to say that Nature cares only for the superior individuals and then makes her new and better races? |
2740 | Would it not be worth while to borrow one of these from Sir H. James as a curiosity to hang up? |
2740 | Would not the Atlantic and Antarctic volcanoes be the best examples for you, as there then can be no coral mud to depress the bottom? |
2740 | Would not tubes protrude if placed on parts of column or base of petals, etc., near to the stigma? |

2739 | At page 189 I quote Henslow( confirmed by Gunther) on Mus messorius( and other species?) |
2739 | But does this hold with South- West Australia or the Cape? |
2739 | But even taking this definition, are you sure that alpine forms are not inherited from one, two, or three generations? |
2739 | But how durst you attack a live bishop in that fashion? |
2739 | But what on earth has a mere suggestion like this to do with meum and tuum? |
2739 | But will not your brother artists scorn you for showing yourself so good an evolutionist? |
2739 | By the way, I met the other day Phillips, the palaeontologist, and he asked me,"How do you define a species?" |
2739 | By the way, have you read Tylor and Lecky? |
2739 | By the way, how comes it that you were not attacked? |

2739 | Can you illuminate me? |
2739 | Can you not see that this suggests the conclusion that the plants are derived one way and the birds another? |
2739 | Can you refer me to any one or two books( for my power of reading is not great) which would illumine me? |
2739 | Can you remember any such account? |
2739 | Can you tell me( and I will promise to inflict no other question) whether climate explains this greater affinity? |

2739 | Do you not mean boreal or arctic plants? |
2739 | Do you not think that the conjugation of the Diatomaceae will ultimately throw light on the subject? |
2739 | Do you see the"Gardeners''Chronicle,"and did you notice some little experiments of mine on salting seeds? |
2739 | Do you think there are many such cases? |

2739 | I perfectly understand and feel the force of your argument in reference to birds per se, but why do these not apply to insects and plants? |
2739 | I presume he made fine sections: if you are accustomed to such histological work, would it not be worth while to examine hairs of tail of mice? |
2739 | I quite agree that the Government ought to have made him long ago, but what does the Government know or care for Science? |
