DCP-LETT-4929

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Frederic William Farrar
Date:
2 Nov [1865]
Source of text:
University of Virginia Library, Special Collections (3314 1: 80)
Summary:

Has enjoyed FWF’s volume [Chapters on language]. Had found Max Müller’s theory obscure and weak.

Believes FWF would come to agree with him on species if he studied general questions in natural history. To argue for immutability of species on the basis of geology resembles a wise savage in a nation with no books saying his language has never changed.
