Discusses possible meeting.
Thanks for sending Moritz Wagner’s letter and his essays [on "Der Naturprocess der Artbildung" in Das Ausland (1875)]. Will read them and write to Wagner when his health is better.
Declines to receive Scherzer at Down.
Thanks for volume on craniology
and for suggestion to Austrian Government that CD receive volumes on Novara voyage.
Has read a large part of the Novara voyage [Narrative of the circumnavigation of the globe by the Austrian frigate "Novara" (1861–3)] with pleasure. CD was particularly interested in the scandalous French behaviour at Tahiti.
Received Moritz Wagner’s essays [Das Ausland (May 1875)] and sent him a long letter [10643] disagreeing with his views because they do not explain adaptation.
Thanks for Büchner’s essay [Die Darwin’sche Theorie, 4th ed. (1876)].
Discusses dates when he might meet the prince (Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria) in London, or perhaps the Prince might visit Down.
Glad to hear of Ernst Haeckel’s reception in Vienna.
R. Virchow’s address ["Liberty of science", Nature 17 (1877–8): 72–4, 92–4, 111–13] very arrogant.
Sorry to hear of death of Arthur Lane.
Congratulates correspondent on appointment to important post.
Leaving tomorrow for visit [with William Darwin].
What a foolish idea seems to prevail in Germany on the connection between Socialism and Evolution through Natural Selection.
Craniological part of Novara voyage report is done.
Expresses his satisfaction at CD’s election as a Foreign Honorary Member of the Academy of Sciences, Vienna.
