DCP-LETT-4118

From:
George Bentham
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
21 Apr 1863
Source of text:
DAR 160: 156
Summary:

Has not yet read the pamphlets [selection of reviews of Origin, sent by CD at GB’s request]. Though GB does not go so far as Hooker in accepting all of CD’s hypotheses and does not feel up to a thorough discussion of his views, he hopes in his Linnean Anniversary Address [Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond. (1863): xi–xxix] to speak on the present state of the [species] question.
