VI-2.  Since this article was in type, noteworthy examples of appreciative scientific judgment of the derivative hypothesis have come to hand:  1.  In the opening address to the Geological Section of the British Association, at its recent meeting, by its president, the veteran Phillips, perhaps the oldest surviving geologist after Lyell; and, 2.  That of Prof.  Allman, President of the Biological Section.  The first touches the subject briefly, but in the way of favorable suggestion; the second is a full and discriminating exposition of the reasons which seem to assure at least the provisional acceptance of the hypothesis, as a guide in all biological studies, “a key to the order and hidden forces of the world of life.”

“The only distinct meaning of the world ‘natural’ is stated, fixed, or settled; since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an intelligent agent to render it so—­i.e., to effect it continually or at stated times—­as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once.”—­Butler’s Analogy.
