DCP-LETT-4041

From:
Charles Lyell, 1st baronet
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
15 Mar 1863
Source of text:
K. M. Lyell ed. 1881, 2: 364–6
Summary:

Lyell has received compliments for letting readers draw own inferences [on species question]. Now feels he earlier did Lamarck injustice. [CD’s] substitution of variety-making power for volition [as in Lamarck] in some respects only a change of names.

Thinks Huxley taking on too many responsibilities.
