John Tyndall
To:
Charles Robert Darwin

7 Sept 1870
Source of text:
DAR 106: C3–4
Summary:

Sends CD proofs of a lecture he will give at Liverpool. Asks CD to check the part referring to him.

Élie de Beaumont’s remark, in which he requires CD to recant before being admitted to the [French] Academy, is intolerable. "This spirit has much to do with the present condition of France."
