DCP-LETT-11766

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Henry Nicholas Ridley
Date:
28 Nov 1878
Source of text:
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (Letters to H. N. Ridley CLE–GUR, 1878–1951, HNR/2/1/2: f. 42)
Summary:

Does not think sermon by E. B. Pusey [see 11763] is worth a reply. HNR may quote CD as saying that Pusey is "mistaken in imagining that I wrote the Origin with any relation whatever to Theology". Pusey’s attack will be powerless to retard belief in evolution.
