If it exist clearly in the individual and in the human, if not even in all, species, the inquiry, according to the upholders of this theory, is inevit able, May it not also do so in genera, in families, orders, .? May not the more highly-organized animals and plants have in some occult way devel oped from the lower ones, and the time-honored view that species-each of them a separate creation -are so nearly constant that they can run only into varieties, require modification? Buffon, in a vacillating way, believed in the transformation of species. Lamarck strongly con tended for the same view, first publishing his opinions on the subject in A. D. 1801; stating them at greater length in 1809 in his Philosophie Zoologique , and in 1815, in the introduction to his Hist . Nat . des Animaux sans Vertèbres. He maintained that all species, man himself not excluded, had descended from other species existing at a prior time. As early as A. D. 1795 Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire suspected that all known species are degenerations of one primitive owner, however, publish his views till 1828. In 1844 appeared a work called Ves tiges of the Natural History of Creation , which by 1853 was in its tenth edition, and strongly advocated the Development hypothesis. Many replies to this work were given, the most celebrated being Hugh Miller's Footprints of the Creator; or, the A sterol epis of Stromne . The eminent metaphysician Mr. Herbert Spencer, in an e ay which appeared in the Leader in March, 1852, and republished in his E ays in 1858, contrasted the theories of Creation and Development, and intimated his belief in the latter. The last-named year commenced a new epoch in the history of the Development hypothesis. July 1, 1858, a paper was read by Mr. Alfred Wallace, and another by Mr. Charles Darwin, on Natural Selec other modification of the Development hypoth esis, to which each had come independently; the pine, pit, sire, sir, marine; gõ, pot IMG:content-2339.png:[blocks in formation] The American Dictionary and Cyclopedia IMG:content-2341.png:[blocks in formation] IMG:content-2342.png:[blocks in formation] IMG:content-2343.png:[blocks in formation] 1.
