DCP-LETT-2654

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Baden Powell
Date:
18 Jan [1860]
Source of text:
Linnean Society of London (Quentin Keynes collection)
Summary:

CD is pleased by BP’s appreciative opinion of Origin. He never intended to claim that he originated the doctrine that species have not been independently created. The only novelty in his work is the attempt to explain how species became modified and how the theory of descent explains large classes of facts. If he has taken anything from BP, he has done so unconsciously. Gives names of those he would have mentioned in any account of authors who maintained that species have not been separately created.

CD greatly admires BP’s Philosophy of creation.

DCP-LETT-2655

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Baden Powell
Date:
18 Jan [1860]
Source of text:
Linnean Society of London (Quentin Keynes collection)
Summary:

To avoid possible misundertanding of his letter [2654] of that morning, CD wishes to make clear that he did not wish to imply that BP’s essay and the Vestiges of creation were in the same class. The more he thinks of it the more difficult he feels it would be to give a fair account of the authors who have maintained the modification of species. CD finds that he referred to BP’s views in the preface to his larger work [Natural selection], which was replaced by the Origin.
