DCP-LETT-2294

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Charles Lyell, 1st baronet
Date:
[25 June 1858]
Source of text:
American Philosophical Society (Mss.B.D25.153)
Summary:

Everything in Wallace’s sketch also appears in CD’s sketch of 1844. A year ago CD sent a short sketch of his views to Asa Gray. Can CD honourably publish his sketch now that Wallace has sent outline of his views? "I would far rather burn my whole book than that he or any man shd. think that I had behaved in a paltry spirit." Does not believe Wallace originated his views from anything CD wrote to him.

Source of text:

Summary:

Is it fair to take advantage of knowing that Wallace is in the field? Seems hard on CD to lose priority of many years, but does not feel this alters justice of case.

Baby [Charles Waring Darwin] has much fever. Frightened because three children in village have died from scarlet fever.

Communicate papers by CD and A. R. Wallace on "The Laws which affect the Production of Varieties, Races, and Species".
