Darwin and After Darwin by George John Romanes is considered to be one of the best pieces of work on the Darwinian theory of evolution. The book is spread across ten chapters which logically pans out the entire discourse on Darwinism. With dedicated portions on morphology, embryology and palaeontology among other strands, this is perhaps the perfect primer on Darwinian thought. Romanes expertly postulates the existing evidence for Darwinian Th...

Excerpt from Thoughts on Religion I have said that after reading these notes I feel no doubt that they ought to be published. They claim it both by their intrinsic value and by the light they throw on the religious thought of a scientific man who was not only remarkably able and clear-headed, but also many-sided, as few men are, in his capacities, and singularly candid and open-hearted. To all these qualities the notes which are now offered t...

Excerpt from Essays IT was Mr. Romanes' wish that some of his essays should be collected and republished. The following selection has been made, I trust, with due care, and serves to show the range of his thought and the versatility of his mind. Those who knew him well will doubtless still feel that the man was even greater than his works. His conversation was so suggestive, his personality so genial and loveable, that one cannot but feel how...

Excerpt from A Selection From the Poems of George John RomanesHis writing poetry seems to have begun about the time that he made Mr. Darwin's acquaintance. He published a few poems anonymously in magazines not long after this time, but the first to which he put his name, the most ambitious he ever wrote, was his Memorial Poem composed for the occasion of Mr. Darwin's death.The second landmark or epoch in his verse-writing was, so Mrs. Romanes ...

Excerpt from Mental Evolution in Animals: With a Posthumous Essay on Instinct by Charles Darwin Could be published in a consecutive form, this is the chapter which was intended for the Origin of Species, and which, for the sake of reference, I have added as an Appendix to my present work. For the rest, the numerous disjointed para graphs and notes which I found among the mss I have woven into the text of this book, feeling on the one hand tha...

Excerpt from The More Excellent Way: A Poem This Poem is selected for separate and anonymous publication, because it is concerned with a class of feelings which scarcely admit of being expressed freely and honestly without concealment of authorship. It was composed at a time of life when such feelings are apt to be most intense, and in view of this consideration, it is now published by the author as it was originally written. About the Publi...
