Thanks WBD for his book, Cave hunting (1874).
Has been invited to lecture at the Royal Institution by Spottiswoode. Discusses subjects he might deal with and his reasons for attempting it.
Tells of a complicated case of a double sale of a living.
Huxley says F. M. Balfour passed brilliantly.
Thanks for Quarterly Review [Oct 1874, containing G. H. Darwin’s letter and a rejoinder]. Is convinced the author is Mivart. Is therefore not surprised at malice in the article attacking his son [George Darwin] and grossly misrepresenting CD.
