"Mr. Wallace has already registered many claims on the gratitude of naturalists, present and future. In their interest he has explored the tropics of the East and the wilderness of the West, and has brought home numberless novelties. He has written one of the best and most instructive books of naturalists' travels ever yet issued. He was, as is well known, the joint-inventor with Mr. Darwin of the theory of 'Natural Selection.' But beyond all these scientific feats-and they are no mean ones-he has accomplished a task that will extend his fame even more widely amongst those who love science, as the author of the first sound treatise on zoological geography.
