The most important paper 00 Darwin ! v, and his theories, published since bis death. is Professor Wallace's estimate, in 11* Orntary. of "Tbc Debt of Scl- Fr to Darwin," from which we quote portrait of Da -win i« rbe froctispirce of the niB® *, and the paper Is otberwi* : The sketch now given of Jbrwin e i a_ work is ib many respects imperfget. since ** it bu given no account of those earlier inqiortant labors which would alone have made the reputation of -a leaser uiau. but tbe gresitest geologists have pro- 1 c< more instructive works tlian tbe Tolumes of "Geological Olaerva lioos" and tbe profound and original esmy "On tbe Structure and Distribution of | ' Coral Reefs"; while tbe numerous re- ! . searches ou tbe fertiliutkm and struct n re 1 of flowers and the movements and plants ' would alone place him in the rank of a profound and original Investigator in botanical science, tbe mast distinguished ° zoologists snd anatomists might be 1 proud of tbe elaborate "Monograph of IheCerripedia." Yet these works, great as is each of : 1 them separately, and. takro altogether, * amazing as tbe production of one mac. ^ sink Into insignificance as compared with j ' the vast body of resrateh and of tbocylit • of which the "Origin of ppeciea" is Ibe J epitome, and with which alooc the ( name of Darwin is associated by tbe mass (> of educated men. ! have bear endeavored, impatiently. u> enable non-spec- j to Judge of tbe character and extent of this work, and of tbe vast revolution (l it has affected in our conception of nature —a revolution altogether independent of tbe question whether the theory of I'nat- ( ural aekcST&o" is not aa important a facte* in bringing about cbangea of animal rod 1 vegetable forms. However much of our knowledge of 1 nature: may advance in Ibe future, it will • eCrlainly be by following in tbe pathways 1 be lias made clear for us, and for long 1 year* to eon* tbe nan* or Darwin will ' stand for tbe typical example of what the ( ' student of nature ought to 1*. And if ] ■ we glance back over tbc*wbole domain 1 f ; science, we shall find none to stand beside J ' as equals, fot In htm we find a pa- | • observation and collections of facts, ^ 1 in Tycho Bra!*; the power of using r lhosc facts in the determination of laws, * as in Kepler; combined -with the inspire- ' lianal genius of a Newton, through which s ' be was enabled in grasp fundamental ' principles, rod so apply them as to bring ' order out of chaos, and illuminate the s 1 world of life as Newton illuminated Ibe material universe.
