But when this comes about, then indeed will Professor Lankester's "rebel against Nature" find his independence acknowledged by the hitherto merciless despot that has decreed punishment for his treason.
A. R. Wallace's; descent, alone, is just as much and just as little Mr. Darwin's doctrine as it is Professor Ray Lankester's or mine. I grant it is in great measure through Mr. Darwin's books that descent has become so widely accepted; it has become so through his books, but in spite of, rather than by reason of, his doctrine.
The claims of scientific research on the public were never more forcibly urged than in Professor Ray Lankester's recent Romanes Lecture before the University of Oxford. Man is here eloquently pictured as Nature's rebel, who, under conditions where his great superior commands "Thou shalt die," replies "I will live."
He was lying still and breathing heavily. His thick fair hair, always slightly gray from the time he was thirty, had become much grayer of late; the thin handsome face was drawn and damp, the eyes cavernous, the lips bloodless. Even in sleep his aspect showed what he had suffered. Poor, poor old fellow! Lankester's whole being softened into pity.
The tall footman, for instance, who had just been endeavoring to make the threadbare cuffs of Lankester's dress coat present a more decent appearance, had done it in no spirit of patronage, but simply in order that a gentleman who spoke to him as a man and a brother should not go at a disadvantage among "toffs" who did nothing of the kind. But again why had he come down?
Lankester's "School Manual of Health;" or a manual on ventilation, published by the Metropolitan Working Classes Association for the Improvement of Public Health.
These hidden thoughts on Lankester's side had been met by a new and tacit friendliness on Marsham's. He had shown an increasing liking for Lankester's company, and had finally asked him to come down and help him in his constituency. By George, if he married that girl, he would pay his penalty to the utmost! Lankester leaned out of window again, his eyes sweeping the dreary park.
Professor Lankester's words could have no force if he held that any other writer, and much less so well known a writer as Mr. Spencer, had preceded me in putting forward the theory in question. When Mr. Spencer. Spencer had been understood to have been upholding this view for the last thirty years. Mr. Spencer's works.
How I came to write "Evolution, Old and New" Mr Darwin's "brief but imperfect" sketch of the opinions of the writers on evolution who had preceded him The reception which "Evolution, Old and New," met with. Though my book was out in 1877, it was not till January 1878 that I took an opportunity of looking up Professor Ray Lankester's account of Professor Hering's lecture.
The personal affection as well as admiration he inspired may be gathered from Sir E. Ray Lankester's words: "There has been no man or woman whom I have met in my journey through life whom I have loved and regarded as I have him, and I feel that the world has shrunk and become a poor thing now that his splendid spirit and delightful presence are gone from it."
