| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Impressions of great naturalists" by Henry Fairfield Osborn is a collection of biographical sketches and reminiscences written in the early 20th century. The volume offers reflective, character-driven portraits of major figures in evolution and natural history, blending Osborn’s personal encounters with concise intellectual histories to inspire and guide aspiring naturalists.<br/><br/>The opening of the work begins with an autobiographic foreword in which Osborn praises self-effacing, creative naturalists and recounts the influences that shaped him—Victorian scientists and poets, rigorous teachers at Princeton and in Europe, formative study under Balfour and Huxley, and a brief, vivid meeting with Darwin. He contrasts quiet, single-purposed creators (Darwin, Wallace, Pasteur) with combative public champions (Huxley, Cope), and even parallels powerful contemporaries like J. P. Morgan and Theodore Roosevelt, stressing courage, humility, and public service. It then turns to the first profile, Alfred Russel Wallace, tracing his modest origins, self-education, tropical fieldwork, independent grasp of natural selection (sparked by Malthus), magnanimous joint publication with Darwin, and lasting contributions to mimicry, warning coloration, and zoogeography, alongside his later views on human evolution and social reform. The narrative next opens the Darwin section with an address pairing Darwin and Lincoln, arguing that Darwin’s greatest gift was freeing scientific inquiry from theological constraint, and briskly sketching his Cambridge formation, the Beagle voyage and Lyell’s influence, the long maturation of natural selection, the Wallace episode, and Osborn’s own brief personal impression of Darwin.
