that precautions had been taken against any occurrence of a similar

Review of "Luck or Cunning?" written by George Bernard Shaw, which
appeared in the _Pall Mall Gazette_, 31st May, 1887.

laudatory and much longer, but the Editor of the _Pall Mall Gazette_ cut
it down in length and took out some of the praise because he was afraid
of offending the Darwins and their friends.
