Appreciation of eulogy in preface of ARW’s book [Theory of natural selection].
Asks CD to look at the "special phylogonies" on pp. 138 and 152 of his book [Forms of animal life (1870)]. His comments are based on reading Haeckel, who is highly speculative and quite wrong.
Thanks TTTT for his study of European spiders [On European spiders Part 1 (1869–70)] which bases its classification system on the theory of evolution.
Examples from Iliad and other sources to show that military offensive tactic called 'Vertical Fire' did not originate with [L. N. M.] Carnot, as Mr. Mallet claimed in recent issue of Budget.
