Abstract
HAVING written for the Fortnightly Review a full reply to Mr. Wallace's article in that journal, I will not here anticipate what I have there to say. But, seeing that he has repeated in these pages the substance of his criticism, I will here also repeat the substance of my reply. On the present occasion, therefore, it is enough to remark that I have never made the “extraordinary statement that, during his whole life, Mr. Darwin was mistaken in supposing his theory to be a theory of the origin of species.” On the contrary, as I shall hereafter show, so far as this matter is concerned, both my opinions and my statement of them are in full agreement with those presented in Mr. Darwin's works.
