Charles Robert Darwin
To:
George John Romanes
Date:

Source of text:
American Philosophical Society (Mss.B.D25.581)
Summary:

Has read with interest GJR’s review [of Samuel Butler, Unconscious memory (1880)] in Nature [23 (1880–1): 285–7]. Heroic of GJR to call down [Butler’s] revenge on his own head. Ernst Krause’s letter [Nature 23 (1880–1): 288] very good.

As magistrate, CD must enforce rules regarding infection in pigs.
