DAR 94: 91–2

Has written to A. J. Gower.

Sends more copies of Queries about expression.

Pall Mall Gazette article [see 6342] is monstrous to say religion did not attack science. Should scientific men ignore whole subject of religion?

Sends French journal with article on JDH and one (weak) by Agassiz on geographical distribution.

M. J. Berkeley has sent his address [Rep. BAAS 38 (1868): 83–7].

CD differs with JDH on Owen; could hardly bear to shake hands with him.

Wallaces, Blyth, Jenner Weirs are coming to stay on Sunday.

Date:
24 Nov 1868
Source of text:
DAR 102: 240–1

W. B. Carpenter’s deep-sea dredgings.

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Joseph Dalton Hooker
Date:
26 Nov [1868]
Source of text:
DAR 94: 98–101
Summary:

CD thought Watson’s article beastly in its criticisms of JDH. Watson’s criticism of CD was not new or important, but fair, so CD could honestly thank him, adding his regret at what was said about JDH.

Is sitting for Woolner bust.

Has read James Croll on alternation of glacial and warmer periods in north and south, which would remove JDH’s objections to cool period extending to equator.

On Croll’s extension of glaciers – a huge relief to get rid of simultaneous cooling of the whole globe.

Watson’s garbling of passage in JDH’s Flora Indica is unprincipled.

Summary:

Is working on new edition of Origin [5th (1869)].

Owen pitches into CD and Lyell in third volume of Anatomy of vertebrates [1866–8].
