Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation If you want to moralise upon the mutability of human affairs, go and see the figure of Gorgius in his real, identical robes, at the waxwork.—Admittance one shilling. The Book of Snobs This was the great moment in the history of thought when the theory of the mutability of species was preparing to throw a flood of light upon all departments of human speculation and action. Father and Son: a study of two temperaments The very instability of all things, once established as a law, brought a sort of rest and permanence with it; "there is nothing strictly immutable," they might have said, "but mutability." Select Epigrams from the Greek Anthology It is interesting as giving his views on the mutability of species. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 For this reason I have limited myself to the trial of wild plants of Holland, and have had the good fortune to find among them at least one species in a state of mutability. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation P.S.—I have got—I wish and hope I might say that WE have got—a fair number of excellent men on our side of the question on the mutability of species.

Father and Son: a study of two temperaments There rise authors now and then who seem proof against the mutability of language because they have rooted themselves in the unchanging principles of human nature. The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon So that, if my quill display no other properties of its mother-goose than her mutability, truly I shall be well pleased; and I conceive that you, my worthy friend, will have no occasion for discontent. Waverley: or, 'Tis sixty years since The detailed description of this experiment, however, I must delay to a subsequent lecture, but I may be allowed to state, that the discovery of this period of mutability is of a definite theoretical importance. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation In the first place, at page 480, it cannot surely be said that the most eminent naturalists have rejected the view of the mutability of species? Life and Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 2 They bid us to find our hope and our rest, our only constant joy in Him, who alone, amid this mutability and decay, is permanent,—in God! The Crown of Thorns : a token for the sorrowing For my part," I continued, "I consider this mutability of language a wise precaution of Providence for the benefit of the world at large, and of authors in particular. The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon It is probable that nutrition plays as important a part among the external causes of mutability as it does among those of fluctuating variability. Darwin and Modern Science This fact does not tend to increase our prospect of discovering a species in a state of mutability. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation From human haps and mutabilities It rests exempt, beneath the edifice To which itself gave rise; Sustaining centre to the bubble of stone Which, breathed from it, exists by it alone. Sister Songs; an offering to two sisters But will you explain what you mean, epitome that you are of all the contradictions and mutabilities ascribed to women from the beginning! The Egoist Musing on the mutability of temporal affairs, I passed on. Roads of Destiny The external causes of this curious period of mutability are as yet wholly unknown and can hardly be guessed at, since the origin of the Oenothera Lamarckiana is veiled in mystery. Darwin and Modern Science But this result was only a secondary gain, a meager consolation for the negative fact that no real mutability could be discovered. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation "We say that meaner women, like the lesser lights of heaven, have revolutions and phases; but who shall impute mutability to the sun, or to Elizabeth?" Kenilworth This mutability of affection has undoubtedly saved her from disaster. The Foundations of Personality Thus Mr. Quirk added mutability of desires to the strange humors that had taken possession of him. The Voice of the City: Further Stories of the Four Million The origin of new species, which is in part the effect of mutability, is, however, due mainly to natural selection. Darwin and Modern Science However, it would be of great interest to ascertain whether O. lamarckiana yet grows in America, and whether it is in the same state of mutability here as it is in Holland. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation By necessitating a change of men, in the first office of the nation, it would necessitate a mutability of measures. The Federalist Papers These organisms change and modify continually; we say of them not only that they are, but that they live; and their life is mutability itself, a flight, a perpetual flux. A New Philosophy: Henri Bergson I was stunned by the extreme mutability of things. Notes on Life and Letters But it is probable that, while nutrition may be one of the main causes of mutability, environment may play the chief part in the decisions ascribed to natural selection. Darwin and Modern Science From this they have inherited the mutability or the capacity of producing at their turn new mutants. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation This cause must be assumed to lie dormant in the _Lamarckiana_s of my strain, and probably in all of them, as no single parent-plant proved ever to be wholly destitute of mutability. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation But such figures are far from favoring the assumption of indefinite mutability. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation The relation between mutability and fluctuating variability has always been one of the chief difficulties of the followers of Darwin. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Upon this progressive mutability the main development of the animal and vegetable kingdom evidently depends. Darwin and Modern Science From this they have inherited the condition of mutability, either completely or partly, and according to this they may be able to produce new forms themselves. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation The amount of mutability and its possible directions may be assumed to be due to internal causes. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation By the alternative view mutability must have been a periodic phenomenon, producing at times new qualities, and at other times leaving the plants unchanged during long successions of generations. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Loss of mutability, under this conception, means loss of the capacity for all further development. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation In contrast to this, the two other cases are called retrogressive and degressive mutability. Darwin and Modern Science The observation of the production of mutants in the field at Hilversum, and the subsequent cultivation of the new types in the garden at Amsterdam, gives ample proof of the mutability of plants. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation They clearly indicate a previous state of mutability. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation The whole phenomenon conveys the idea of a close group of mutations, all belonging to one single condition of mutability. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation Most of the other types of my new mutants, on the other hand, seem to be due to progressive mutability. Darwin and Modern Science In the case of retrogressive and degressive mutability the internal cause is at once apparent, for it is this which causes the disappearance or reappearance of some character. Darwin and Modern Science But even this capacity seems to be doubtful and connected only with the state of mutability and to be lost afterwards. Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation |
