Butler, Samuel, 1835-1902

"The Note-Books of Samuel Butler"

[The
Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, The Fair Haven and
Erewhon Revisited.]
4. The perception that personal identity cannot be denied between
parents and offspring without at the same time denying it as between
the different ages (and hence moments) in the life of the individual
and, as a corollary on this, the ascription of the phenomena of
heredity to the same source as those of memory. [Life and Habit.]
5. The tidying up the earlier history of the theory of evolution.
[Evolution Old and New.]
6. The exposure and discomfiture of Charles Darwin and Wallace and
their followers. [Evolution Old and New, Unconscious Memory, Luck or
Cunning? and "The Deadlock in Darwinism" in the Universal Review
republished in Essays on Life, Art and Science.] {376}
7. The perception of the principle that led organic life to split up
into two main divisions, animal and vegetable. [Alps and
Sanctuaries, close of Chapter XIII: Luck or Cunning?]
8. The perception that, if the kinetic theory is held good, our
thought of a thing, whatever that thing may be, is in reality an
exceedingly weak dilution of the actual thing itself. [Stated, but
not fully developed, in Luck or Cunning? Chapter XIX, also in some
of the foregoing notes.]
9. The restitution to Giovanni and Gentile Bellini of their
portraits in the Louvre and the finding of five other portraits of
these two painters of whom Crowe and Cavalcaselle and Layard maintain
that we have no portrait.
