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.
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.
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.
Appreciation of eulogy in preface of ARW’s book [Theory of natural selection].
