By CHARLES DARWIN, F. R. S., Author of the "Origin of Species," etc., etc.

"Whatever one thinks of Mr. Darwin's theory, it must be admitted that his great powers of observation are as conspicuous as ever in this inquiry. During a space of more than thirty years, he has, with exemplary patience, been accumulating information from all available sources. The result of all this is undoubtedly the collection of a mass of minute and trustworthy information which must possess the highest value, whatever may be the conclusions ultimately deduced from it."—London Times.

"It is almost needless to say that Mr. Darwin has brought to this work vast stores of erudition, accumulated treasures of careful observation, and all the devices of an acute and fertile ingenuity; for these are qualities which are conspicuous in all he writes. But it may be as well to add that the book is very attractive even to general readers. It is comparatively light and easy reading, full of amusing anecdote: and the illustrations, whether due to the sun's rays or to the engraver's point, are excellent."—Guardian.

"Those of our readers who know the charm of Darwin's former works, how he leads his readers on to his conclusions in the clearest and most attractive English, will experience more than their usual treat when they sit down to this book. Never was more truly realized the saying about men laboring and others entering into the fruit of their labors. The illustrations are excellent, and recourse has been had to photographs in rendering the more telling of the physiognomical expressions. Even the most antagonistic of anti-Darwinians will not hesitate to admit how much he has learned from a careful study of the work before us."—Science Gossip.
