DCP-LETT-11137

From:
Warren Maude Moorsom
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
13 Sept [1877]
Source of text:
DAR 171: 235
Summary:

Pleased with CD’s interest in temperance. Can he quote CD? Sorry the elephant story is a myth. It fits his argument for temperance: a passion for alcohol is natural [primitive]. Only the morally developed can resist. Moral development will take a long time. Thus education cannot cure alcoholism now. Thus public sale of alcohol must be outlawed. Although he is a follower of J. S. Mill and Herbert Spencer he has been forced to this conclusion.
