Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections MSS DAR 8)
Summary:

CD is sorry for the trouble TMH has had. Fully approves of the rule [that the medal be awarded to a local worker?]. The knowledge that the Chester Natural History Society wished to honour him is the real gratification, which he will never forget.

DCP-LETT-13747

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
George Charles Wallich
Date:
28 Mar 1882
Source of text:
Karpeles Manuscript Library Museums
Summary:

GCW has correctly expressed CD’s views when he says he intentionally left the question of the origin of life uncanvassed as being altogether ultra vires in the present state of our knowledge. Thinks he may somewhere have said that principle of continuity renders it possible that the principle of life will be shown to be a part of, or consequence of, some general law.
