Summary:
CD does not mind C. R. Bree’s dull, unvarying abuse and misrepresentation, but when he doubts CD’s deliberate word, "that is the act of a man who has not the soul of a gentleman in him".
JSH’s letter in Athenæum ["Flints in the drift", 20 Oct. 1860, p. 516] is interesting.
H. Freke’s paper [On the origin of species by means of organic affinity (1861)] is beyond CD’s scope.
