• Excerpt from Eminent Persons, Vol. 3: Biographies Reprinted From the TimesBut the greatest result of all was probably that on the mind of the naturalist himself. Passing over a generation, the spirit of his grandfather seems to have reappeared in Charles Darwin with intensified power and precision. We need not here enter into the delicate distinctions which exist between the develop mental theories of Erasmus, which were prematurely sown in unfruitful and unprepared soil, and those Of his greater grand son, which have revolutionised research and thought in every department of human activity. The inherited germ was doubt less rapidly and fully developed during the splendid opportunities presented by the voyage of the Beagle. Throughout all his subsequent work the influence of this voyage is apparent, and continued reference is made to the stores of observation laid up during those eventful five years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
