Thanks for excellent notice of Chauncey Wright.
Would like a copy of Wright’s "Darwinism in Germany" [Nation 21 (1875): 168–70].
Will send carriage to station on 18th.
Invitation to Down for the 18th. W. B. Richmond, who is painting CD’s portrait, will also be there.
Thanks for JF’s book [Darwinism and other essays (1879)].
Thanks JF again for his Essays, which he has now read.
JF’s indebtedness to Herbert Spencer. [Published version complete.]
Thanks JF for his lectures, the arguments of which he finds very forcible; is glad to see JF has detected the falseness of much of Mivart’s reasoning.
Would like much to visit CD before returning to America;
is completing his work on evolution [Outlines of cosmic philosophy (1874)] for publication. Hopes to do away with the anthropomorphic distinction made between "divine action" and the "action of natural forces".
CD is glad to hear of nature of JF’s work;
proposes that JF call when CD comes to London.
Has read JF’s attack on Agassiz ["Agassiz and Darwinism"] in Popular Science Monthly [3 (1873): 692–705].
Thanks JF for copy of Cosmic philosophy [1874].
Praises JF’s book [Cosmic philosophy (1874)].
Has long wished to understand H. Spencer but is not convinced by him and some others. CD cannot trust deduction from a starting principle, as his mind is so fixed by the inductive method.
Thanks CD for Descent
and for his praise of Cosmic philosophy [1874].
