And didn't he read it well? I've felt that a hundred times, but never knew how to say it." It was in the early fall of 1918, more than a year later, that Hardman came once more into the familiar library at Calvinton. He had read the casualty list of the last week of August and came to condole with his friend De Vries.
Graham saved the painful situation by saying casually: "Do you know, I've just been reading De Vries' eulogy of Luther Burbank's work, and it seems to me that Dick is to the domestic animal world what Burbank is to the domestic vegetable world. You are life- makers here thumbing the stuff into new forms of utility and beauty."
This encouraged him to monopolise the conversation: He, Vries, was a man possessed of courage and wisdom; he understood Phrenology, Allopathy, Homoeopathy, Engineering Science, Metereology like Moliere's doctors and Holberg's Oldfux. His greatest and most special gift was that of curing cancer.
"Haven't you read anything about the experiments of the Dutch botanist Hugo de Vries?" "No." "Well, his experiments have proved that there are certain vegetable species which, all at once, without any preparation, without anything to make you expect it, change type absolutely and take on other characters." "The devil! That really is extraordinary."
She told them that the crew of an English shallop, which not long before had come to visit the place, probably from a ship afraid to venture higher up the river, had all been slaughtered, and that it was the jackets of these men that some of her countrymen were wearing. Like a sensible man, De Vries paid attention to this story, and did not venture into Timber Creek.
The death of Thorbecke was the signal for a growing cleavage between the old doctrinaire school of liberals, who adhered to the principles of 1848, and the advanced liberalism of many of the younger progressive type. To Gerrit de Vries was entrusted the duty of forming a ministry, and he had the assistance of the former first minister, F. van de Putte.
Oscar Hertwig, de Vries, Driesch and others attempt to reconcile the preformationist and the epigenetic standpoints, and “to extract what is good and usable out of both.” Hertwig and Driesch, however, can only be mentioned with reservations in this connection.
Marie can be an angel one moment and a child playing with toys the next. When he sees toys he always plays with them, and he plays hard, but when he drops them they go completely out of his mind." The American lady laughed. "Gracious me!" she cried. "You two are emphatic enough about him, aren't you?" "We know him," said Baron de Vries. Hartley rose to replace his empty cup on the tea-table.
But who shall attempt a description of its glories as we saw it that evening at sunset, and many an evening afterward, with the chance and transient effect of light and shade playing on its pearly sides. June 19. The freshening gale soon rattled us past the town of Simoda, and into the great bay of Yedo, with the volcano of Vries at its entrance.
De Vries' experiments in variation and Mendel's rediscovered work on plant hybridization had hopelessly undermined the older notion that the evolution or progress of species has taken place through the inheritance of acquired characters that is, that the individuals developed or adapted themselves to suit their surroundings and that these body-modifications were inherited by their offspring.
