Notes:

"The following essays and excerpts are significant statements on organic variation, evolution, and natural selection up to and including Darwin's 'Origin' of 1859. The selection from Lamarck's 'Philosophie zoologique' (1809) is a new translation by me. Paula Gottdenker has checked the translation, although any errors, remaining are my responsibility alone."--Page [8] H. Lewis McKinney.
