[92] Origin of Species, p. 72: Mr. Wallace himself quotes this passage (Darwinism, p. 141); but says with regard to it "the important word 'all' is probably an oversight." In the Appendix (II), on Darwin's views touching the doctrine of utility I adduce a number of precisely equivalent passages, derived from all his different works on evolution, and every one of them presenting "the important word 'all.'"

[99] Mr. Wallace deems the concluding words "rather confident." I was not, however, before aware that he extended his a priori views on utility to domesticated varieties which are bred for the slaughter-house. If he now means to indicate that these appendages are possibly due to natural selection, he is surely going very far to save his a priori dogma; and in the case next adduced will have to go further still.
