The 13th he crossed the Rhine, stopped a moment to see the Prince Primate at Aschaffenburg, met in the course of the day the King of Wuertemberg and the Grand Duke of Baden, and spent the night at Wuerzburg, the sovereign of which was the former Grand Duke of Tuscany, the brother of the Emperor of Austria. Marie Louise was delighted to see her uncle again, who was to join her at Dresden.
O. Schultze, Anatomist in Wuerzburg, says: "The idea entertained by Darwin, that the development of species may be explained by a natural choice Selection which operates through the struggle of individuals for existence, cannot permanently satisfy the spirit of inquiry.
But the most elaborate criticisms of the "Origin of Species" which have appeared are two works of very widely different merit, the one by Professor Koelliker, the well-known anatomist and histologist of Wuerzburg; the other by M. Flourens, Perpetual Secretary of the French Academy of Sciences.
He no longer thought of making Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia three separate kingdoms, or of dethroning the Emperor Francis, and putting in his place his brother, the Grand Duke of Wuerzburg, formerly the Grand Duke of Tuscany.

At a diet held in Wuerzburg in January, 1180, the Emperor laid the question before the princes what was to be done to one who had refused, after having been three times summoned, to come before the imperial tribunal. The answer was that he was to be deprived of all honor, to be judged in the public ban, and to lose his duchy and all his benefices.
After the departure of her husband and her father, Marie Louise remained still five days in the capital of Saxony, profiting by them to visit the wonderful museum, the castle of Pilnitz, and the fortress of Koenigstein, on the banks of the Elbe, upon a steep rock. June 4, in the early morning, she left Dresden accompanied by her uncle, the Grand Duke of Wuerzburg.
She dined at her father's table with the Grand Duke of Wuerzburg, Prince Anthony of Saxony, the Duchess of Montebello, the Duchess of Bassano, the Count of Montesquiou, etc.
