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	Do n''t you think so?...
38629	Do you believe( and I really should like to hear) that God_ designedly_ killed this man?

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	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?
38629	[ 291] Pray tell me whether anything has been published on this subject?
38629	[ Down, 1847?]
38629	and the''how?''
38629	the''why?''
6919	0 solidité de l''esprit Français, que devenez- vous?"
6919	And is disapprobation a pleasure or a pain?
6919	And the second is: How has it been perpetuated?
6919	And, after all, is it quite so certain that a genetic relation may not underlie the classification of minerals?
6919	Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties?
6919	Are these truths ultimate and irresolvable facts, or are their complexities and perplexities the mere expressions of a higher law?
6919	But are there any theological authorities to justify this view of the matter?
6919	But can we go no further than that?
6919	But has this been done?
6919	But how does this come about?
6919	But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature?
6919	But is it not possible to apply a test whereby a true species may be known from a mere variety?
6919	But is the analogy a real one?
6919	But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals?
6919	But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of Nature?
6919	But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature?
6919	But then, what do they mean by this last much- abused term?
6919	But to how much has man really access?
6919	But what does this attempt to construct a universal history of the globe imply?
6919	But what if it is?
6919	But what more have we to guide us in nine- tenths of the most important affairs of daily life than hypotheses, and often very ill- based ones?
6919	But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result?
6919	But where does the grass, or the oat, or any other plant obtain this nourishing food- producing material?
6919	Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock?
6919	Did M. Flourens ever visit one of the prettiest watering- places of"la belle France,"the Baie d''Arcachon?
6919	Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species?
6919	Do they cease to be so when the man ceases to be conscious of them?
6919	Does that make it less virtue?
6919	Does the Quarterly Reviewer really think that the"sensation"is the"agent"by which the other two phenomena are wrought out?
6919	Elijah''s great question,"Will you serve God or Baal?
6919	Finally, what are the mental powers which he reserves as the especial prerogative of man?
6919	For what are the phænomena of Agamogenesis, stated generally?
6919	Has it been created?
6919	Has not his Paley told him that that seemingly useless organ, the spleen, is beautifully adjusted as so much packing between the other organs?
6919	How do you know that the laws of Nature are not suspended during the night?
6919	How do you know that the man who really made the marks took the spoons?
6919	How then is the production of new species to be rendered intelligible by the analogy of Agamogenesis?
6919	How, then, is mud formed?
6919	If they are capable of sensation, emotion, and volition, why are they to be denied thought( in the sense of predication)?
6919	If you find any record of changes taking place at_ b_, did they occur before any events which took place while_ a_ was being deposited?
6919	In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature?
6919	In the first place, what is a species?
6919	In what manner can we conceive that the_ vis viva_ of the first ball passes into the second?
6919	Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter?
6919	Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection?
6919	Is it then still profitable to the male organism to retain it?
6919	Is there among the plants the same primitive form of organisation, and is that identical with that of the animal kingdom?
6919	Is there any test of a physiological species?
6919	Is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature?
6919	Is there no criterion of species?
6919	Is this sound reasoning?
6919	Nay, what becomes of an average country squire or parson?
6919	Now, how many of those are absolutely extinct?
6919	Now, is approbation a pleasure or a pain?
6919	Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature?
6919	Now, what is the effect of this oscillation?
6919	Now, what is the result of all this?
6919	O solidité de l''esprit Français, que devenez- vous?"
6919	Or, suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we; what does the explanation explain?
6919	Or, to put it to the common sense of mankind, is the gratification of affection a pleasure or a pain?
6919	Sed quis absconditos ejus recessus aut subterraneas abyssos pervestigavit?
6919	Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences?
6919	So what is the use of what you have done?"
6919	That is to say, how many of these orders of animals have lived at a former period of the world''s history but have at present no representatives?
6919	The first is: How has organic or living matter commenced its existence?
6919	The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock?
6919	What are these"dunes"?
6919	What are those inductions and deductions, and how have you got at this hypothesis?
6919	What if species should offer residual phænomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection?
6919	What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular?
6919	What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis?
6919	What is he doing?
6919	What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is?
6919	What is the value of the evidence which leads one to believe that one''s fellow- man feels?
6919	What is this very speech that we are talking about?
6919	What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification?
6919	What shall a man desire more than this?
6919	What thoughts, idea, or actions are there that raise him many grades above the elephant or the ape?"
6919	What was the state of matters in 1859?
6919	What will be the result, then?
6919	What will come of a variation when you breed from it, when Atavism comes, if I may say so, to intersect variation?
6919	What, then, takes place?
6919	Why are the animals and plants of the Galapagos Archipelago so like those of South America and yet different from them?
6919	Why are those of the several islets more or less different from one another?
6919	Why do species present certain relations in space and in time?
6919	Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life?
6919	Your friend says to you,"But how do you know that?"
6919	or has it arisen by the power of natural causation?
6919	or what is really the state of the case?
6919	quam multa nobis animalia antea ignota offert novus orbis?
6919	said his opponents;"but what do you know you may be doing when you heat the air over the water in this way?
6919	that none of the phænomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way?
6919	that there is such a thing as natural selection?
1909	If, as I must think, external conditions produce little DIRECT effect, what the devil determines each particular variation?
1909	In what,he asks,"does the advantage of a larger cerebral mass consist?"
1909	10.2 days alpha( beta, gamma) Actinium Emanation?
1909	143 days alpha... Lead 207?
1909	2.15 minutes alpha, beta, gamma... Radium 225 about 2600 years alpha Radium Emanation?

1909	3.9 seconds alpha Actinium- A?
1909	35.7 minutes no rays Actinium- B?
1909	6 days beta( gamma) Radium- F?
1909	?
1909	Again and again, several roads are open to it, of which it chooses one-- why?
1909	And after all what would animals that live in sand and mud do with tube- feet?
1909	And finally, how is it that the same Hawk- moth caterpillars, which to- day show oblique stripes, possessed longitudinal stripes in Tertiary times?
1909	And what do the successors of the mighty hero and genius think now in regard to the origin of the human race?
1909	Are ordinary materials slightly radio- active?
1909	Atomic Weight Time of half Radio- Activity decay Uranium 238.5 alpha Uranium- X?
1909	Bates, April 4, 1861:"If I had to cut up myself in a review I would have( worried?)
1909	But can you account for the males not having been rendered equally brilliant and equally protected?
1909	But granted that such hybridisations were possible, would they have influenced the character of the fauna?
1909	But how was it possible that such processes should occur in free nature?
1909	But in all seriousness, why should indefinite and unlimited variation have been regarded as a more probable account of the origin of Adaptation?
1909	But is it only desert and polar animals whose colouring is determined through adaptation?
1909	But on what does this phenomenon, so big with consequences, itself depend?
1909	But what are genetic characters?
1909	But what part of it DOES NOT depend upon adaptation?
1909	But, again, why?
1909	But, it is asked, what of the direct effect of external conditions, temperature, nutrition, climate and the like?
1909	By what lines of reasoning and research was he brought to regard"natural selection"as a vera causa in the process of evolution?
1909	Can they decide which is to perish and which to survive?
1909	Can we conjecture how events would have moved if the son of Philip of Macedon had been an incompetent?
1909	Did he develop it himself or was it a miraculous gift with which he was endowed at his creation?
1909	Did they believe in the immortality of the soul?
1909	Do we not detect such a view in Comte''s sociology, and perhaps even in Herbert Spencer''s?
1909	Even if the record of Adam''s action were to be taken literally there would still remain the question, whence had he this power?
1909	Further than this, I would ask whether the same train of ideas does not also apply to the evolution of animals?
1909	Has it increased or diminished in duration and complexity since organisms first appeared on the earth?
1909	Has this method, which is spoken of as Geitonogamy, the same influence as crossing with pollen from another plant?
1909	Have the results of his experimental investigations modified the point of view from which Darwin entered on his researches, or not?
1909	Have we not here one of the conceptions which mark off sociology proper from the old philosophy of history?
1909	How are new words added to a language in the present day?
1909	How could insects which live upon or among green leaves become all green, while those that live on bark become brown?
1909	How could the Ithomiine dress have developed in their case, and of what use is it, since the species would in any case be immune?
1909	How could the green locust lay brown eggs, or the privet caterpillar develop white and lilac- coloured lines on its green skin?
1909	How did these come to be so named?
1909	How did this world grow up?
1909	How far south did it ever extend and what is the latest date of a direct practicable communication, say from North Western Europe to Greenland?
1909	How has our conception of social phenomena, and of their history, been affected by Darwin''s conception of Nature and the laws of its transformations?
1909	How have the desert animals become yellow and the Arctic animals white?
1909	How have they been received and followed up by the scientific and lay world?
1909	How may this property be stated?
1909	How was it that Darwin succeeded where others had failed?
1909	How, when, and under what conditions was Darwin led to a conviction that species were not immutable, but were derived from pre- existing forms?
1909	If Variation may be in any way definite, the question once more arises, may it not be definite in direction?
1909	If only that has persistence which can be adapted to a given condition, what will then be the fate of our ideals, of our standards of good and evil?
1909	If we give to"continually"a cosmic measure, can the fact be doubted?
1909	In other words living matter must always have presented a life- cycle, and the question arises what kind of modification has that cycle undergone?
1909	Intelligent missionaries of bygone days used to ply savages with questions such as these: Had they any belief in God?
1909	Is it possible that the significant deviations which we know as"individual variations"can form the beginning of a process of selection?
1909	Is not, then, the problem of knowledge solved by the evolution hypothesis?
1909	Is religion then entirely a delusion?
1909	Is the"natural"leak of a brass electroscope due to an intrinsic radio- activity of brass, or to traces of a radio- active impurity on its surface?
1909	Is there not a word"bad"in English and a word"bad"in Persian which mean the same thing?
1909	Is this the last word of human thought?
1909	It is more important to ask, Why do these two worlds join?
1909	It is not enough to hope( or fear?)
1909	It is quite true that a similar substance covered the scales of the Reptiles, but why should it not have arisen among them through selection?
1909	It solves the great problem: how could the finely adapted structure of the animal or plant body be formed unless it was built on a preconceived plan?
1909	May not our present ideas of the universality and precision of Adaptation be greatly exaggerated?
1909	Of what use to the diamond is its high specific gravity and high refrangibility, and to gold of its yellow colour and great weight?
1909	Old men will reproach young men saying"Why do you not go to work?"
1909	Or have we chanced upon an eddy in a backwater, opposed to the main stream of advance?
1909	Or in what other way could it have arisen, since scales are also passively useful parts?
1909	So Wangi climbed up the tree to ask Wailan Wangko,"How now?
1909	That question was,''What is a species?''
1909	The question is brought home to us when we ask what is a bud- sport, such as a nectarine appearing on a peach- tree?
1909	The question is sometimes asked, Do the new lights on Variation and Heredity make the process of Evolution easier to understand?
1909	The question is, then, if it has forms in which there is room for the new matter?
1909	The real question is, Do they ever produce sterile offspring?
1909	They are based on instinctive foundations ingrained in the nervous constitution through natural( or may we not say sexual?)
1909	They belong to four different genera and three sub- families, and we have to inquire: Whence came this resemblance and what end does it serve?
1909	This at once raises the much discussed question, how far garden- cultivation has led to the creation of new races?
1909	This is unmistakably apparent from a letter to Fritz Muller dated February 22( 1869?
1909	This life- power IS something; does it live in his heart or his lungs or his midriff?
1909	To Darwin the question, What is a variation?
1909	To quote a single example; I may put the question, what internal changes produce a transition from vegetative growth to sexual reproduction?
1909	To this we must agree; but, it may be asked, do the general means of plant dispersal violate so obvious a principle?
1909	To use a phrase of Romanes, can they have SELECTION- VALUE?
1909	To what extent have the results of this vast activity fulfilled the expectations of the workers who have achieved them?
1909	Turning to the other end of the radium series we are led to ask what becomes of radium- F when in turn it disintegrates?
1909	Vaguely thinking over the enormous and constant destruction which this implied, it occurred to me to ask the question, Why do some die and some live?
1909	Was it his breath?
1909	What are the forms which surround them?
1909	What are these variations in structure which succeed one another in the life- history of an organism?
1909	What has been the fate of Darwin''s doctrines since his great achievement?
1909	What have the philosophers done for language since?
1909	What is a genetic or mutational variation?
1909	What is that connotation?
1909	What is the final non- active product of the series of changes we have traced from uranium through actinium and radium?
1909	What is the reason of it?
1909	What is the theological import of such a statement when it is regarded as essential to belief in God?
1909	What justification is there for this view?
1909	What proportion of thickness was sufficient to decide that of two variants of a limpet one should survive, the other be eliminated?
1909	What then are Lamarck''s"acquired characters"?
1909	What then is the problem we are dealing with?
1909	Whence comes the idea that all measures inspired by the sentiment of solidarity are contrary to Nature''s trend?
1909	Who is here the breeder, making the selection, choosing out one individual to bring forth offspring and rejecting others?
1909	Why then is it so often entirely restricted to the female?
1909	Why then should we feel content with the first hypothesis and not with the second?
1909	Why was the migration of northern creatures southwards of far- reaching and most significant importance?
1909	Why were the necessary variations always present?
1909	Why, then, was it, that Darwin succeeded where the rest had failed?
1909	Would those whom such conclusions repelled be content to oppose to nature''s imperatives only the protests of the heart?
1909	about 40 years no rays Radium- E?

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	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 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	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	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	at the door, and he got together quite a party-- Robert Brown, who is gone to Paris and Auvergne, Macleay[?]
2087	or"?."
2087	published several years ago the view of distribution of animals in the Malay Archipelago, in relation to the depth of the sea between the islands?
5273	Do we consider the deficiency of this sixth sense in man as the slightest evidence against design? 5273 What Is Darwinism?
5273	Why do n''t he say,cries the theologian,"that the complicated organs of plants and animals are the product of the divine intelligence?
5273	[ III-14] What does the difference between Mr. Darwin and his reviewer now amount to? 5273 A good deal may be made of this, but does it sustain the indictment? 5273 And if individuals alone exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of species?
5273	And who that is convinced of this can long undoubtingly hold the original distinctness of turnips from cabbages as an article of faith?
5273	And why not suppose that the finder of the watch, or of the watch- wheel, infers both design and human workmanship?
5273	And would an explanation of the mode in which those woodpeckers came to be green, however complete, convince him that the color was undesigned?
5273	Are they veritable Melchizedeks, without pedigree or early relationship, and possibly fated to be without descent?
5273	As the intellectual connection here is realized through the material connection, why may it not be so in the case of species and genera?
5273	As to the latter, is the common apprehension and sense of mankind in this regard well grounded?
5273	Because natural, that is,"stated, fixed, or settled,"is it any the less designed on that account?
5273	But does the one really exclude the other?
5273	But how would it be if you saw the men doing the same thing over and over?
5273	But how?
5273	But is it a teleology, or rather-- to use the new- fangled term-- a dysteleology?
5273	But now, as the genus and the species have no material existence, how can they vary?
5273	But what is the position of the reviewer upon his own interpretation of these passages?
5273	But what of the vast majority that perish?
5273	But where is there the slightest evidence of a common progenitor?
5273	But why not say the same of the aurochs, contemporary both of the old man and of the new?
5273	But would any of them be preserved and carried to an equal degree of deviation?
5273	But you will ask me,''Do you, then, reject the doctrine of evolution?
5273	But, this being proved is it now very improbable that both were derived from the almond, or from some common amygdaline progenitor?
5273	Can it be that there was no design, no designer, directing the powers of life in the formation of this wonderful organ?
5273	Can the derivative hypothesis be maintained and carried out into a system on similar grounds?
5273	Can we rightly reason from our own intelligence and powers to a higher or a supreme intelligence ordering and shaping the system of Nature?
5273	Could she accomplish similar results when left to herself?
5273	Do order and useful- working collocation, pervading a system throughout all its parts, prove design?
5273	Do you accept the creation of species directly and without secondary agencies and processes?''
5273	Does the investigation of physical causes stand opposed to the theological view and the study of the harmonies between mind and Nature?
5273	First, Do they die out as a matter of fact?
5273	For it is still to ask: whence this rich endowment of matter?
5273	Have these changes modified in the slightest degree the supposed evidence of design?"
5273	Have they had a career, and can that career be ascertained or surmised, so that we may at least guess whence they came, and how, and when?
5273	Have we not similar grounds for inferring design in the supposed varieties of species, that we have in the case of the supposed species of a genus?
5273	He set before himself a single problem-- namely, How are the fauna and flora of our earth to be accounted for?
5273	How came they to be applied to natural selection by a divine who professes that God ordained whatsoever cometh to pass?
5273	How could he know whether the blow was intentional or not?
5273	How if you at length discovered a profitable end of the operation, say the winning of a wager?
5273	How many of the land animals and plants which are enumerated in the Massachusetts official reports would it be likely to contain?
5273	How moving them?
5273	How, then, can we suppose Chance to be the author of a system in which everything is as regular as clockwork?
5273	II Do Species wear out?
5273	If any of us were born unlike our parents and grandparents, in a slight degree, or in whatever degree, would the case be altered in this regard?
5273	If only individual chairs exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of the species?
5273	If species do not exist at all, as the supporters of the transmutation theory maintain, how can they vary?
5273	If that does not refer the efficiency of physical causes to the First Cause, what form of words could do so?
5273	Is it compatible with our seemingly inbore conception of Nature as an ordered system?
5273	Is there anything in Nature which in the long- run may answer to artificial selection?
5273	It is asked, If the first was so created for its obvious and actual use, and the second for such use as it has, what was the design of the third?
5273	More than this, is it not most presumable that an intellectual conception realized in Nature would be realized through natural agencies?
5273	Now, if the eye as it is, or has become, so convincingly argued design why not each particular step or part of this result?
5273	Now, is not all this a question of degree, of mere gradation of difference?
5273	Now, the question is, Does this involve the destruction or only the reconstruction of our consecrated ideas of teleology?
5273	Now, where is the design in all this?
5273	Or are they now coming upon the stage-- or rather were they coming but for man''s interference-- to play a part in the future?
5273	Or are they remnants, sole and scanty survivors of a race that has played a grander part in the past, but is now verging to extinction?
5273	Or, pourquoi la reproduction est- elle possible, habituelle, feconde indefiniment, entre des etres organises que nous dirons de la meme espece?
5273	Rather does not the proof extend to the intermediate species, and go to show that all four were equally designed?
5273	Shall we quarrel with Science if she should show how these words are true?
5273	Should we be less apt to infer creative wisdom if we had only four senses instead of five, or three instead of four?
5273	So in the counterpart case of natural selection: must we not infer intention from the arrangements and the results?
5273	So it has been asked, If a man can make a telescope, why can not God make a telescope which produces others like itself?
5273	So the question comes to this: What will an hypothesis of the derivation of species explain which the opposing view leaves unexplained?
5273	Such being the results of the want of adequate knowledge, how is it likely to be when our knowledge is largely increased?
5273	The practical question will only be, How much difference between two sets of individuals entitles them to rank under distinct species?
5273	The questions,"What will he do with it?"
5273	This raises the question, Why does Darwin press his theory to these extreme conclusions?
5273	To the triumphant outcry,"How can an organ, such as an eye, be formed under Nature?"
5273	To which we reply by asking, Which does the question refer to, the category of thought, or the individual embodiment?
5273	VIII WHAT IS DARWINISM?
5273	Viewed philosophically, the question only is, Which is the better supported hypothesis of the two?
5273	Was this the result of a mere Epicurean or Lucretian"fortuitous concourse"of living"atoms"?
5273	Well, if this be so, why denounce the modern man of science so severely upon the other page merely for accepting the permission?
5273	Were the old alchemists atheists as well as dreamers in their attempts to transmute earth into gold?
5273	What are these probabilities?
5273	What better evidence for such hypothesis could we have than the variations and grades which connect these species with each other?
5273	What is now to be thought of the ordinary glandular hairs which render the surface of many and the most various plants extremely viscid?
5273	What is the bearing of these remarkable adaptations and operations upon doctrines of evolution?
5273	What more than this could be said for such an hypothesis?
5273	What work will this hypothesis do to establish a claim to be adopted in its completeness?
5273	What would come of it?
5273	What, then, are organs not adapted to use marks of?
5273	When plants are seen to move and to devour, what faculties are left that are distinctively animal?
5273	Whence comes that of which all we see and know is the outcome?
5273	Who shall decide between such extreme views so ably maintained on either hand, and say how much of truth there may be in each?
5273	Why do all hypotheses of derivation converge so inevitably to one ultimate point?
5273	Why is this, but that the link of generation has been sundered?
5273	Why may not the new species, or some of them, be designed diversifications of the old?
5273	Why not?
5273	Why should these plants take to organic food more than others?
5273	Why should time be lost by this preliminary and incomplete closing?
5273	Why these two stages?
5273	Why this continual striving after"the unattained and dim?"
5273	Why, but because, by their complete extinction in South America, the line of descent was there utterly broken?
5273	Would they doubt, or deny my intention, on that account?
5273	XII DURATION AND ORIGINATION OF RACE AND SPECIES-- IMPORT OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION I Do Varieties wear out, or tend to wear out?
5273	[ VIII-1] The Nation, May 28, 1874) The question which Dr. Hodge asks he promptly and decisively answers:"What is Darwinism?
5273	and if not, why not?
5273	and if they varied it by other arrangements of the balls or of the blow, and these were followed by analogous results?
5273	and"How far will he carry it?"
5273	or, does it tend to atheism or pantheism?
5273	use of sexual reproduction?
5273	we would respond with a parallel question, How can a complex and elaborate organ, such as a nettle- sting, be formed under Nature?
2088	), showing profound contempt of me?... 2088 Do you remember telling me that I ought to study Phyllotaxy?
2088	How can water injure the leaves if indeed this is at all the case?
2088	Lord Mayor.--Probably the clergyman of the parish might exert some influence over them? 2088 MUST YOU NOT ASSUME A PRIMEVAL CREATIVE POWER WHICH DOES NOT ACT WITH UNIFORMITY, OR HOW COULD MAN SUPERVENE?"
2088	Will England play this part? 2088 ( Do you mean LIVING naturalists?) 2088 ( In a letter to Mr. Huxley my father wrote:Have you seen the last"Saturday Review"?
2088	), and I like it much; but did you ever see a book so badly arranged?
2088	); is the paging right, namely, 1, 2, 3?
2088	... Have you seen the splendid essay and notice of my book in the"Times"?
2088	... What will become of my book on Variation?

2088	1854?
2088	1870?
2088	1874?
2088	Again, are bloo- protected plants common on your DRY western plains?
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	Also do you know from your own observation that the limbs of sheep imported into the West Indies change colour?
2088	And now, can you advise me how to make soil approximately free of all the substances which plants naturally absorb?
2088	Are such plants commoner in warm than in colder climates?
2088	Are the IMPERFECT flowers of your Specularia the early or the later ones?
2088	Are there any bloo- protected leaves or fruit in the Arctic regions?
2088	Are they brightly coloured kinds?

2088	Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body?

2739	Second, why do I think it my duty to do this and not do that?
2739	See Falconer at the bottom of page 80: it is the old difficulty-- how can variability co- exist with persistence of type?
2739	Shall we have the pleasure of seeing you there?
2739	Shall you attend the Council of the Royal Society on Thursday next?
2739	Shall you return through England?
2739	Shall you think me impertinent( I am sure I do not mean to be so) if I hazard a remark on the style, which is of more importance than some think?
2739	Should I send it to Bell?
2739	Should you object offering for me this reward or payment to your little girls?
2739	Since writing to you I have had more correspondence with the master of hounds, and I see his[ record?]
2739	Supposing Greenland were repeopled from Scandinavia over ocean way, why should Carices be the chief things brought?
2739	Surely, can not an overwhelming mass of facts be brought against such a proposition?
2739	Thank you for the Aristolochia and Viscum cases: what species were they?
2739	The article begins with the following question:"First Reader-- Is Darwin''s theory atheistic or pantheistic?
2739	The conviction that I was on the Tertiary strata was so strong by this time in my mind, that on the third day in the midst of lavas and[?
2739	The experiment seems to me worth trying: what do you think?
2739	The latter strikes me thus: why should plants and insects have been so extensively changed and birds not at all?

2739	This is a comfortable arrangement, is it not?"
2739	This letter goes the same way, so that if in course of due time you do not receive the box, will you be kind enough to write to Falmouth?
2739	To this it is sufficient to reply, was your primordial organism, or were your four or five progenitors created as egg, seed, or full grown?
2739	Was the flesh at all sweet?
2739	Was there anything to show that the stigma was ready for pollen in these two cases?
2739	What are you doing now?
2739	What can be the meaning or use of the great diversity of the external generative organs in your cases, in Bombus, and the phytophagous coleoptera?
2739	What can there be in the act of copulation necessitating such complex and diversified apparatus?
2739	What do you think?
2739	What does Austen make the date of the Channel?--ante or post Glacial?"
2739	What good would their perfected senses and their intellect serve under such conditions?
2739	What makes H. Watson a renegade?

2739	When is your great work to make its appearance?
2739	When shall I see a memoir on Insular floras, and on the Pacific?

2739	Where, then, was the edge or coast- line of it, Atlantic- wards?

2739	Why did he not put his facts before us, and let them rest?''"
2739	Why do the plants of Porto Santo and Madeira agree so nearly?
2739	Why do we obey conscience or feel pain in disobeying it?
2739	Why do you not let me buy the Indian Flora?
2739	Why has nobody thought of trying the experiment before, instead of taking it for granted that salt water kills seeds?
2739	Why should the one class of phenomena be without end or utility, a mere effect of contingency or chance, more than the other?"
2739	Why should you or I speak of variation as having been ordained and guided, more than does an astronomer, in discussing the fall of a meteoric stone?
2739	Will Owen answer you?
2739	Will they pay at the Royal Institution for copying on a large size drawings of these birds?
2739	Will you be so kind as to read the enclosed, and return it to me?
2739	Will you endeavour to screw out time and grant me this favour?
2739	Will you grant me the favour of giving me any clue, where I could see the book?
2739	Will you just tell me roughly the result?
2739	Will you look through these printed lists, and if you can, mark with red cross such as you would suggest?
2739	Will you not come next year, if a special invitation is sent you on the same terms?
2739	Will you receive it, and it could be left at my brother''s?
2739	Will you some time have to examine the Chalk and its junction with London Clay and Greensand?
2739	Will you think over this and let me hear the result?
2739	With respect to areas with numerous"individually durable"forms, can it be said that they generally present a"broken"surface with"impassable barriers"?
2739	With respect to naturalised plants: are any social with you, which are not so in their parent country?
2739	Without going into any details, is not this a strong general argument?
2739	Would Lindley hear of and dislike being proposed for the Copley and not succeeding?
2739	Would it not be a good rebuff to ask him how he knows there were trees at all on the leafless plains of La Plata for his Mylodons to tear down?
2739	Would it not be better on this view to propose him for the Royal?
2739	Would it not be very interesting to know how the gall- makers behaved with respect to these hybrids?
2739	Would it not be well for you to put yourself in communication with him, as otherwise something will perhaps be twice laboured over?
2739	Would it not pay for a collector to go there, especially if aided by any subscription?
2739	Would not my argument about wingless insular insects perhaps apply to truly Alpine insects?
2739	Would not the southern end of Chiloe make a good division for you?
2739	Would this be in time?
2739	Would you believe it?
2739	Would you kindly answer me two or three questions if in your power?
2739	Would you not call this theological pedantry or display?
2739	Yet who could discover it?
2739	You also forget an author who, by means of atolls, contrived to submerge archipelagoes( or continents?
2739	You ask about the skipping of the Zoea stage in fresh- water decapods: is this an illustration of acceleration?
2739	You have, however, Ranunculus repens, Ranunculus parviflorus, Papaver rhoeas,?
2739	You may say, Then why trouble me?
2739	You speak as if only land- shells differed in Madeira and Porto Santo: does my memory deceive me that there is a host of representative insects?
2739	You speak of evergreen vegetation as leading to few or confined conditions; but is not evergreen vegetation connected with humid and equable climate?
2739	Your fact of greater number of European plants( N.B.--But do you mean greater percentage?)
2739	Your oak and chestnut case seems very curious; is it not the more so as beeches have gone to, or come from the south?

2739	a large body of considerations on the other side, that this genus could not have been slowly accustomed to a cooler climate?
2739	and Java belong to the same botanical region-- i.e., that they have many non- littoral species in common?
2739	and is it not very surprising that New Zealand, so much nearer to Australia than South America, should have an intermediate flora?
2739	and would not the accumulation of a large number of slight differences of this kind lead to a great difference in the grade of organisation?

2739	for would it not be destruction to them to be blown from their proper home?
2739	has surprised me much; do you not think it odd, the fewness of peculiar species, and their rarity on the alpine heights?
2739	how at the first start of life, when there were only the simplest organisms, how did any complication of organisation profit them?
2739	how can you speak so of a living real Duke?)

2739	or is it because no chasms or boundaries can be drawn separating the many species?
