Opis

Excerpt from Little Journeys to Homes of Great Scientists, Vol. 17: Wallace; November, 1905 Well did he pinch his leg, and call in his wife, asking her if he were alive or dead. Straightway he went to see Sir Charles Lyell and Sir Joseph Hooker, both more eminent than he in the scientific world, and laid the matter before them. After a long conference it was de cided that both papers should be read the same evening before the Linnaeus Society, and this was done on the evening of July 1, 1858. Darwin then decided to publish his Origin of Species, which in his preface he modestly calls an Abstract. The publication was hastened by the fact that Wallace was compiling a similar work. After giving Wallace full credit in his most interesting Introduction, and reviewing all that others had said in coming to similar conclusions, Darwin fired his shot heard 'round the world. And no man was more delighted and pleased with the echoing reverberations than Alfred Russel Wallace, as he read the book in far-off Australia.
