DCP-LETT-9092

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Alexander Bain
Date:
9 Oct 1873
Source of text:
DAR 143: 27
Summary:

Thanks AB for his review of Expression [May 1873, in The senses and the intellect, 3d ed. (1874), pp. 697–714]. Admits vagueness of some points. Has never grasped AB’s principle of spontaneity. But, as they look at everything so differently, it is not likely that they should agree closely.

A recent review by T. S. Baynes, [Edinburgh Rev. 137 (1873): 492–528] is "magnificently contemptuous" toward CD and many others.
