Overlook[]
Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) was a ilkloreteacher active throughout the 19th yearhundred. His most shapely work: 'On the Origin of Species', first uttered as 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Featured Races in the Struggle of Life', in 1859, was the nibbing of 23 years of work. it thoroughly uprooted how we think of the kindful world. It has beliven in thrutch ever since.
I have endeavoured to overset this writ thusly:
On the Root of Lifekin[]
Writers' Lead-in[]
When on board HHS Beagle, as ilkloreteacher, I was much struck with wis facts in the spread of the dwelling of South Markland, and in the earthcraft dealings of the nowadays' to the past dwellers of that mainland. These facts seemed to me to throw some light on the root of lifekin - that wonder of wonders, as it has been hote by one of our greatest outhwites. On my coming home, it befelled to me, in 1837, that something might maybe be made out to this ask by forbearingly upheaping and bethinking on all sorts of facts which could maybe have any bearing on it. After five years' work I let myself wonder on this underthrow, and drew up some short logs; these I spun in 1844 into a sketch of findings, which then seemed to me likely: from that timespan to today I have steadily shadowed the same goal. I hope that I may be forgiven for going into these selfly meals, as I give hem to show that I have not been hasty in coming to such callings.
My work is now nearly done; but as it will take me two or three more years to fulfill it, and as my health is far from strong, I have been urged to utter this Outline. I have moreso been set off to do this, as Gm. Wallace, who is now reading the ilkyore of the Malay Island Cluster, has come upon almost fully the same broad findings that I have on the root of lifekin. Last year he sent to me a lifetale on this thread, with a beseech that I would forward it to Lord Charles Lyell, who sent it to the Linneish Fellowship, and it is uttered in the third wad of the logbook of that fellowship. Lord C. Lyell and Lord Hooker, who both knew of my work - the latter having read my sketch in 1844 - mensed me by thinking it redesome to utter, with Gm. Wallace's wonderful lifetale, some brief harvests from my handwrits.
This Outline, which I now utter, must needfuly be unfull. I cannot here give hints and headships for my sundry outsayings; and I must trust to the reader resting some belief in my swotel. No wonder dwales will have crept in, though I hope I have allways been chary in trusting to good headships alone. I can here give only the overall findings at which I have reached, with a few facts in spotlight, but which, I hope, in most cases will do. No one can feel more begetful than I do of the need of hereafter uttering in meal all the facts, with hie underlying meanings, on which my findings have been grounded; and I hope in a forthcoming work to do this. For I am well aware that barely a onefold token is talked about in this wad on which facts cannot be bekindled, often seemingly leading to findings forthrightly forenenst to those at which I have reached. A fair outcome can be reaped only by fully outsaying and weighing the facts and flite on both sides of each ask; and this cannot maybe here done.
I much rue that want of room forecomes my having the gladness of acknowledging the openhanded backing which I have won from very many ilkloreteachers, some of hem monnly unknown to me. I cannot, however, let this opening pass without wording my deep makings to Lord Hooker, who for the last fifteen years has helped me in every mightly way by his large stores of knowledge and his outstanding deemship.
In heeding the root of lifekin, it is altogether thoughtworthy that an ilkloreteacher, thinking on the evenway leanings of lifely beings, on her forbairnal dealings, her earthloresome spread, earthfrodal aftercoming, and other such facts, might come to the finding that each lifekin had not been freely created, but had sloped, like many kinds, from other lifekin. Nevertheless, such a finding, even if well grounded, would be ungladfull, until it could be shown how the untellworthy lifekin dwelling this world have been wended, so as to gain that flawlessness of makeup and twinonwending which most fairly upedges our bewonderment. Ilkloreteachers forlong refer to outward onlay, such as loftlay, food, and others, as the only mightly cause of sundriness. In one vary bounded feel, as we shall hereafter see, this may be true; but it is low to own to mere outer onlay, the makeup, thus, of the hickle, with its feet, tail, beak, and tongue, so bewonderly onwended to catch bugs under the bark of trees. In the fall of the mistletoe, which draws its fodder from wis trees, and which has seeds that must be ferried by wis birds, and which has blossoms with sunder sexes wholly tharfing the ledger of wis bugs to bring bloomdust from one bloom to the other, it is evenly unreckonsome to ledger for the makeup of this free rider, with its bond to sundry marked kin, by the sway of outward burdness, or of wont, or of the will of the wort itself.
The writer of Leftovers of Fromship would, I foreguess, say that, after a wis unknown mark of breedings, some bird had given birth to a hickle, and some wort to the mistletoe, and that these had been formed flawless as we now see hem; but this inim seems to me to be no atelling, for it leaves the lay of the fellowonwendings of ilks to each other and to her bodily burdness of life, unreaped and unsweetled.
It is, therefore, of the highest heft to gain a sharp insight into the means of overhauling and twinonwending. At the start of my looking it seemed to me likely that a careful study of tamed beings and of farmed worts would bid the best luck of making out this thester kinch. Nor have I been let down; in this and in all other bewildering falls I have always found that our knowledge, unfulmade though it be, of sundriness under taming, afforded the best and safest clue. I may ween that my lagging of the high worth of such studies, although hey have been very often overlooked by ilkloreteachers.
From these thoughts, I shall earmark the first chapter of this outline to sundriness under taming. We shall thus see that a broad score of bequested wending is at least mightly; and, what is evenly or more weighty, we shall see how great is the sway of man in heaping, by his choosing, aftercoming slight sendriness. I will then pass on to the sundriness of lifekin in a state of ilk; but I shall, haplessly, be fordrive to behandle this thread far too shortly, as it can be fordriven befittingly only by giving long lists of truths. We shall, however, be allowed to talk about what haps are most heartening to sundriness. In the next chapter the struggle for beinghood amongst all lifely beings throughout the world, which unformithely follows from her high shapelorish might of build up, will be behandled of. This is the lorespell of Malthus, spread to the whole deer and green kingdoms. As many more onelepy of each lifekin are born than can maybe survive; and as, thereby, there is an often oversaying struggle for beinghood, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any way worthwile to itself, under the manifold and sometimes varying onlay of life, will have a better luck of surviving, and thus be kindly chosen. From the strong howing of birthright, any chosen kind will lean to propagate its new and overhauled form.
This underlying underthrow of kindly choosing will be behandled at some length in the fourth chapter; and we shall then see how kindly choosing almost unformithely yields much death of the less bettered forms of life, and breeds what I have called off-leading of selfhood. in the next chapter I shall talk about the manifold and little known laws of sundriness and of linkings of growth. In the four aftercoming chapters, the most seeming and gravest hardships on the thought will be given: namely, first, the struggle of overgangs, or in understanding how a simple being or a simple innard can be shifted and honed into a highly fostered being or thoroughly built innard; twothly, the thread of instingt, or the mindly will of deers; thirdly, thwarsbreedom, or the fallow of kinds when inthwarsed; and fourthly, the unfulmaking of the stoneloresome log. In the next chapter I shall reckon the stoneloresome aftercoming of lifely beings throughout time; in the eleventh and twelth, her landscapely spread throughout space; in the thirteenth, her branding or evenway leanings, both when grown and in a forbairnal areadness. In the last chapter I shall give a short going over again of the whole work, and a few closing gainmarks.
No one ought to feel overcome at much beliving as yet unspelled out in as for the root of lifekin and kinds, if he makes due leaving for our underlying unknowing in as for the evenway links of all the ilks which live around us. Who can spell out why one lifekin reaches widely and is very many, and why another alike lifekin has a narrow reach and is fewsome? Yet these dealings are of the highest weight, for hie name the ongoing welfare, and, as I believe, the forthcoming winth and wending of every dweller of this world. Still less do we know of the evenway linkings of the unreconly dwellers of the world throughout the many past earthloresome time spans in its yore. Although much stays hidden, and will long stay hidden, I can play no qualm, after the most weighed study and unswayed deeming of which I am fitworthy, that the outlook which most ilkloreteachers play, and which I formerly played - namely, that each lifekin has been selfly formed - is wrong. I am fully wheedled that lifekin are not fixed; but that those belonging to what are called the same kin are straightly offspring of some other and mainly dead lifekin, in the same manner as the acknowledged kinds of any one lifekin are the offspring of that lifekin. Furthermore, I am wheedled that kindly choosing has been the main but not only means of wending.
