No Binding. Condition: Good. A head and shoulders portrait, photographer's details printed at foot and to verso of card, identified in pencil to verso, VG. The Duke of Argyll (1823-1900) made contributions to geology, and opposed the Darwinian idea of continuous evolution. He espoused instead a form of 'serial creation', in whic…h he posited multiple acts of creation resulting in the existence of organisms that contained a 'plan' through which the complexities of development could be examined and understood. He was nonetheless one of the ten pallbearers at the funeral of Charles Darwin.

He served as Lord Privy Seal in Lord Aberdeen's cabinet [1852-1855] and then as Postmaster General in Lord Palmerston's first cabinet [1855-1858]. From 1859 to 1866 he was again Lord Privy Seal, first in the second Palmerston administration and then under the Earl of Russell. In December 1868 he was appointed Secretary of State for India under Gladstone. In this role his refusal to promise support against the Russians to the Emir of Afghanistan helped lead to the Second Afghan War. Argyll was also an author on scientific matters, especially evolution and economics. He was a leader of the scholarly opposition to Darwin, an important economist, and an institutionalist, approaching the study of politics by focusing on formal institutions of government.
