Description:Published in 1885, this biography of the founder of modern evolution was part of the "English Worthies" series edited by Andrew Lang. Allen presents Darwin in context, showing the world to which he was born, his place as intellectual heir to Lamarck and Malthus, and an assessment of his place in history.Excerpt:In this little volume I have endeavoured to present the life and work of Charles Darwin viewed as a moment in a great revolution, in due relation both to those who went before and to those who come after him. Recog nising, as has been well said, that the wave makes the crest, not the crest the wave, I have tried to let my hero fall naturally into his proper place in a vast onward movement of the human intellect, of which he was himself at once a. Splendid product and a moving cause of the first importance. I have attempted to show him both as receiving the torch from Lamarck and Malthus, and as passing it on with renewed brilliancy to the wide school of evolutionary thinkers whom his work was instrumental in arousing to fresh and vigorous activity along a thousand separate and varied lines of thought and action.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
