Colin Clouts Calendar PDF Download

Excerpt from Colin Clout's Calendar, 1512: The Record of a Summer, April-October The little Essays which form this volume originally appeared in the 'St James's Gazette, ' and I owe many thanks to the Editor for his kind permission to republish them in their present form. The greater number of the papers are botanical, and these, I hope, will be found to contain some new and original evolutionary views. The remainder, dealing with the animal world, though not, I trust, mere transcripts, owe more to such previous and more serious works as those of Mr. Darwin, Mr. A. R. Wallace, Mr. Herbert Spencer and Professor Weismann. I ought also to express my indebtedness in the botanical portion to Dr. Bentham, Sir Joseph Hooker, Professor Sachs, and other standard authors.
