DCP-LETT-6684

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Alfred Russel Wallace
Date:
27 Mar [1869]
Source of text:
The British Library (Add MS 46434)
Summary:

Hopes ARW has not "murdered too completely your own and my child" [natural selection] in his Quarterly Review article ["Sir Charles Lyell on geological climates and the Origin", 126 (1869): 359–94] on Lyell’s Principles [10th ed.].

CD is attributing more significance to useless variability in new [5th] edition of Origin.

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Alfred Russel Wallace
Date:
14 Apr 1869
Source of text:
The British Library (Add MS 46434: 181–3)
Summary:

ARW’s review of 10th ed. of Lyell’s Principles [see 6684] is admirable.

But he differs "grievously" with ARW on man. CD sees no necessity for an additional and proximate cause.
