Excerpt from The Law of Inheritance: Or the Philosophy of Breeding
The ovum takes its origin from within the stroma, or the cavity of the ovaries, which answer analogically to the secret ing process of the testicle. In many of the lower animals the testes and ovaries bear a close resemblance to each other, and the same holds good in the early or embryotic condition of the generative apparatus of man. In some of the lower grades of animals, as generally in the articulates and mol lusks, the ovaries have a glandular character, but in the verti brates the ova are evolved in the midst of a solid fibrous tissue or stroma.
The likeness between the spermatozoa and the ova is again indicated by the fact that they both appear to be the product of cell-action, with development having taken place after the dehiscence of the cell from its companion cells. We thus have in the sperm the mother-cell containing the nuclei which are formed into ciliated cells, and which are to develop a vitality sufficient to support the motion necessary to them for the fulfilment of their uses. In the ovum we recognize an advanced development, in which the cell containing its nucleus is the essence; the nucleus in both being the essential part for the exercise of the complete function of either, - the pro duction of the individual life.

Excerpt from The Law of Inheritance: Or the Philosophy of Breeding
It is now nearly three years since I made my first attempt to write a work on the breeding of domestic animals. I had collected a considerable mass of information, chiefly so-called facts, and it seemed an easy matter to bring these into shape for the illustration of principles which could be enunciated as laws. I soon, however, realized the difficulty of using this material to produce an harmonious result, as the grouping was not only arbitrary, but the laws which they were intended to illustrate were but empirical formulæ, whose mutual connections could not be shown. I therefore determined to seek, through further study, a solution for my difficulties; and I may here say that my realization of the importance of force as fashioning the phenomena of vitality came entirely from a series of inductions. The facts were grouped under laws which seemed to formulate the conditions under which they occurred, and these laws, in turn considered as unities, pointed unmistakably to a superior law, which in its turn influenced their occurrence, - the law of persistence of force. This brief paper is not presented in order to prove a theory, but as an outgrowth arising from the supposed recognition of a cause.
