De Vries, a Dutch trader, complaining of the sharpness of the planters in a bargain, says, "You must look out when you trade with them, for if they can deceive any one they account it a Roman action."
With respect to the means by which these various movements are effected, there can be little doubt from the researches of Sachs and H. de Vries, that they are due to unequal growth; but from the reasons already assigned, I cannot believe that this explanation applies to the rapid movements from a delicate touch.
Thus, the proof drawn from mere observation is ever being strengthened, while, on the other hand, experiment is removing the objections one by one. The recent experiments of H. de Vries, for instance, by showing that important variations can be produced suddenly and transmitted regularly, have overthrown some of the greatest difficulties raised by the theory.
De Vries' experiments showed that a moderately simple fact practically makes all these complicated theories unnecessary. No two living things are exactly alike that is, all living matter is more or less variable. Some variations are more fortunate than others, and these variants are the ones which survive the ones best adapted to their environment.
And because she was nervous and overwrought, and because the thing meant so much to her, she said, cheaply: "He owes me no apologies. He has a perfect right to act as he pleases, you know." The Englishman frowned across at her. "I didn't come to make apologies," said he. "I came to explain. Well, I have explained Baron de Vries and I together. That's just how it happened. And that's just how Ste.
De Vries thought this a good opportunity to establish a permanent peace with the savages; but Kieft, who still seemed to thirst for blood, made it an occasion for treachery and death.

"Such an example furnishes some insight into the elements of Indian character.
Even "Buck" de Vries was not forgotten, and without a suggestion of my contemplated departure I entertained my colleagues royally with a bowl of punch brewed after a celebrated Cambridge recipe, which in a decadent age spoke eloquently of the glories of the past.
His natural mechanical bent, therefore, took the intellectual form of invention and organization. Hugo de Vries, Botanist. An example of physically frail type. Very careful, accurate, painstaking, and patient in mental work. Also very thoughtful, mild in disposition, but determined and persistent. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, United States Minister to Holland, Author, Scholar, and Poet.
"They're like diplomatic parties, only we have a better time and the men don't wear their orders. How many nationalities should you say there are in this room now?" "Without stopping to consider," said Baron de Vries, "I say ten." They counted, and out of fourteen people there were represented nine races. "I don't see Richard Hartley," Miss Benham said. "I had an idea he was to be here.
