Asks whether GC knows who gave CD a scolding in last Edinburgh Review [Apr 1873].
Missed hostile review of Expression in Edinburgh Review. Agrees it might be by J. H. Stirling [see 8935], who has written in a deplorably polemical style on Huxley and Sir William Hamilton.
J. V. Carus’ lecture.
Edinburgh intellectual climate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s visit to Edinburgh.
J. H. Stirling did not write anonymous review of Expression in Edinburgh Review. Suggests T. Spencer Baynes of St Andrews. [? T. S. Baynes, "Darwin on expression", 137 (1873): 492–528.]
Thanks for report on J. V. Carus’ lecture.
Glad to hear suspicion about J. H. Stirling groundless.
CD has not seen R. W. Emerson. In last two or three years has seen several Yankees. Saw a good deal of the Nortons [Charles Eliot and Susan Ridley Sedgwick].
