=Romanes’s= “Scientific Evidences of Organic Evolution” is also a
brief statement of the primary factors of the theory
=CST= 575
=Clodd’s= “Story of Creation” is a popular but more extensive study of
the whole question of evolution
=CST= 575
=Wallace’s= “Darwinism” should be read as a direct intro. to Darwin’s
own works. Embraces researches made between 1872 and 1889, and answers
objections; it is popular in method
=CST= 575
=Darwin’s= “Origin of Species” is the epoch-making work in which, in
1859, he first fully expounded his theory of the mutability of species
=CST= 575
His “Descent of Man,” 1871, is an account of further experiments, and
more careful in style
=CT= 575
=Huxley’s= “Man’s Place in Nature” may be read as a suppl. to Darwin,
as the work of a brilliant independent critic
=CST= 573
=Romanes’s= “Darwin and after Darwin” carries on the theory to 1890. 3
v.
=C= 575
=Haeckel’s= “Evolution of Man” contains the view of the theory of the
first of German biologists. Principally a study of embryology. 2 v.
=C= 575
=Weissmann’s= “The Evolution Theory” is the latest re-statement of the
whole subject (1904). Is popular, and contains a study of the author’s
germ theory. 2 v.
=C= 572
If the reader is unable to spare time for reading all the above,
Romanes’s “Scientific Evidences” and Wallace’s “Darwinism” are perhaps
the most useful to the beginner.
[11] =C= = Central, =R= = Reference, =S= = South Norwood, and =T= =
Thornton Heath, the Libraries possessing copies.
=PART 2. A MORE COMPLETE COURSE.=
=BIOGRAPHY.=
See =Francis Darwin’s= “Life and Letters of Charles Darwin.” 3 v.,
1887
=CS= B
The official life, by his son; it contains an autobiographical c., and

idea.”
And its complement, =Darwin’s= “More Letters.” 2 v.
=CST= 575
A record of his work, in hitherto unpublished letters. V. 1 deals
almost entirely with evolution.
See also the popular biographies:
=Bettany’s= “Life of Charles Darwin” in the “Great Writers” ser.

And =Grant Allen’s= “Charles Darwin” in the “English Worthies” ser.
=CST= B
