THE discourse on "Evolution and Ethics," reprinted in the first
half of the present volume, was delivered before the University of
Oxford, as the second of the annual lectures founded by Mr.
Romanes: whose name I may not write without deploring the untimely
death, in the flower of his age, of a friend endeared to me, as to
so many others, by his kindly nature; and justly valued by all his
colleagues for his powers of investigation and his zeal for the
advancement of knowledge. I well remember, when Mr. Romanes' early
work came into my hands, as one of the secretaries of the Royal
Society, how much I rejoiced in the accession to the ranks of the
little army of workers in science of a recruit so well qualified to
take a high place among us. It was at my friend's urgent request
that I agreed to undertake the lecture, should I be honoured with
an official proposal to give it, though I confess not without
misgivings, if only on account of the serious fatigue and
hoarseness which public speaking has for some years caused me;
while I knew that it would be my fate to follow the most
accomplished and facile orator of our time, whose indomitable youth
is in no matter more manifest than in his penetrating and musical
voice. A certain saying about comparisons intruded itself somewhat
importunately.
