Farrar was a high-ranking cleric in the Church of England with background as a classics scholar and philologist, While he never fully adopted Darwin's theory of evolution, as a Christian he found no objections to Darwin's thesis. Indeed, he served as a pall-bearer at Darwin's funeral. A handsome, charming set.
