Comedies of courtship: illustrating an aspect of Darwin's work, 1909. 'Animals That Would A - Wooing Go: Their Curious "Methods When Love-Making. The great gathering of men of science from all parts of the world, which the University of Cambridge summoned to do honour to her most distinguished son, Charles Darwin, naturally tended to re-awaken the public interest in his great work. Much of this concerns abstruse questions outside the experience of most people, but a great deal of it touched upon themes which appeal to us all. And not the least of these concerns the coloration of animals. Until he startled the world with his great theory, no one ever supposed that this coloration had any particular significance: we are now convinced that it has. The accompanying Illustrations will give a general idea at least of the results of his labours on the subject of the courtship of animals. He showed. that during this critical period some win their way to success through the blandishments of ornaments accompanied by weird dances and gestures, while with others battle, murder, and sudden death are the accompaniments of this phase of life'.

THE PINE BOMBYX, FROM "THE UNIVERSE", 1870. 'A VERY HANDSOME VOLUME IS PUBLISHED BY MESSRS. BLACKIE AND SON, OF PATERNOSTER-ROW AND OF GLASGOW AND EDINBURGH, ENTITLED "THE UNIVERSE; OR, THE INFINITELY GREAT AND THE INFINITELY LITTLE"...[AN] ENGLISH TRANSL
The Pine Bombyx, from "The Universe", 1870. 'A very handsome volume is published by Messrs. Blackie and Son, of Paternoster-row and of Glasgow and Edinburgh, entitled "The Universe; or, the Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little"...[an] English translation of the excellent French work...by Dr. F. A. Pouchet...The literary and scientific merits of the book, which has been highly commended by M. Amedee Guillemin, by the French critical journalists, and by M. Octave Lacroix..., constitute its principal value...One of the illustrations...represents the larva, cocoons, and butterfly of the Pine Bombyx, or Phalaena, which is so much dreaded by the woodmen of Germany. It especially attacks trees which are seventy or eighty years of age; and there are many instances on record of whole forests of that age being destroyed by the caterpillars of this species...To check the ravages of this formidable enemy, hundreds of men are sometimes assembled, with their tools, and marched in bands all over the country, digging trenches to separate one district of the woodlands from another; or they set fire to the trees infested with the insects, and entire forests are burned, that the foe may not pass on to other parts of the country'.

CATCHING FLIES, BY B. RIVIERE, 1870. ENGRAVING OF A PAINTING. '...HIS MASTER...DOES NOT PAMPER HIS PET BY OVERFEEDING: WITNESS THE THIN, WIRY LEGS...TO SAY NOTHING OF THAT VERY CLEAN-PICKED, HALF-CONSUMED BONE...ADAPTING A POPULAR PROVERB, "LIKE DOG, LIKE
Catching Flies, by B. Riviere, 1870. Engraving of a painting. '...his master...does not pamper his pet by overfeeding: witness the thin, wiry legs...to say nothing of that very clean-picked, half-consumed bone...adapting a popular proverb, "like dog, like master"...wandering vagrants both, probably casuals, chiffoniers, gipsies. It is a blessed arrangement that often our cares diminish as our social position is abased. So is it, perhaps, in the canine world; so is it, perhaps, with our model. He has found his humble and slender meal on the ground...and now, having no other care in life, and being naturally an idle dog, he amuses himself by "catching flies" before taking his customary after-dinner nap. But, stay; it is probably those flies that interrupt his siesta! Like the flame to the moth, he is evidently an attraction to them, and their power of irritation may be better estimated from the drawing than our Engraving, because in the former you may see how very thin is that ragged coat - you may even see the pink skin showing through, and can therefore better understand why the poor tormented cur wishes to complete his meal on those airy nothings, and give them a local habitation where they can no longer torture his exterior integument'.
