DCP-LETT-7963

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
William Henry Flower
Date:
22 Sept [1871]
Source of text:
John Innes Foundation Historical Collections
Summary:

Asks WHF to check over some enclosed MS pages [Origin, 6th ed.?]. CD quotes some of WHF’s remarks, but should WHF not wish to be mixed with CD’s theoretic notions, CD will omit the whole paragraph.

Many think CD’s notions are "rubbish, pleasantly flavoured", like the reviewer in the Quarterly Review, who CD cannot doubt is "Mr Mivart, with bigotry arrogance illiberality & many other nice qualities".
