From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Richard Owen
Date:
17 July [1852]
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections Owen correspondence 9/188)
Summary:

Gratified by what RO says about his book [Living Cirripedia, vol. 1 (1851)]. The anatomical work is the only part he is really interested in; finds the "mere systematic part infinitely tedious"; but will be surprised if he is ever proved wrong on the males of Ibla and Scalpellum.

DCP-LETT-2580

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Richard Owen
Date:
13 Dec [1859]
Source of text:
Natural History Museum, Library and Archives (General Special Collections Owen correspondence 9/195)
Summary:

Responds to Owen’s remarks that his book [Origin] is not likely to be true because it attempts to explain so much. CD describes how, for fear this might be so, he resolved to give up the work if he could not convince two or three competent judges. He is sensitive because of unjust things said by a distinguished friend [A. Sedgwick]. Value of his views now depends on men eminent in science.
