Edward B. Aveling ventures to forward herewith a copy of the Student’s Magazine for October wherein is the first of a series of articles on Dr Darwin’s works, intended to make the general public more familiar and the students more deeply acquainted with them. If he attain his end he trusts he may be forgiven his presumption.1
