C. Seward is a collection of essays commemorating the centenary of Charles Darwin's birth and the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of "The Origin of Species," written in the early 20th century. The work unites contributions from various authors, each addressing different aspects of Darwin's influence and legacy in science, particularly in the fields of biology, philosophy, and the humanities, illuminating the enduring impact of Darwin's ideas on modern scientific thought and research.  The opening of the book provides insight into its purpose and the scholarly community's efforts behind it. A preface outlines the ambition to present essays that not only celebrate Darwin's contributions but also reflect on contemporary scientific attitudes towards his theories. The introductory letter by Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker highlights the significance of the essays in exploring Darwin's relationship with his predecessors and the evolution of thoughts surrounding natural selection, organic evolution, and the interdisciplinary implications of Darwin's work. Throughout these early chapters, the groundwork is laid for a comprehensive examination of Darwin's lasting impact, setting the stage for deeper discussions in subsequent essays.
