The essay commences with a reference to Charles Darwin, Origin having been published a few years before; I suppose that animal life - supplied and controlled by the spirit of God (Gen[esis] I.2) - took its upward course through the Ages, developing (possibly one from another as Mr Darwin supposes) and including all the different forms that are or have been, up to the 'man' of the Drift.[See Note below re. Pleistocene].
