DCP-LETT-8199

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Felix Anton (Anton) Dohrn
Date:
3 Feb 1872
Source of text:
Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München (Ana 525. Ba 699)
Summary:

Thanks AD for his article in Das Ausland ["Englische Kritiker und Anti-Kritiker über den Darwinismus", 49 (1871): 1153–7].

Mivart’s book [Genesis of species], which misinterprets CD’s views, has produced a great effect in England.

He has answered the point about incipient structures being useless in new [6th] edition of Origin.

His Descent has had immense circulation, but has met with approval of hardly any naturalists. He supposes it was a mistake to publish it, but it will pave way for a better work.

DCP-LETT-8197

From:
Charles Frédéric Martins
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
3 Feb 1872
Source of text:
DAR 171: 60
Summary:

CD’s views, on which he has lectured, will succeed with time.

Joachim Barrande’s refutation cannot be impartial because he is a devout Catholic.

Many young French naturalists support CD but are silent for fear of their jobs. Houget has been reprimanded for his Darwinism.
