Source of text:
DAR 261.5: 18 (EH 88205916)
Summary:

Thanks WO for gift of his translation [Aristotle’s De partibus animalium]. Suspects the introduction would interest him more than the text "notwithstanding that he [Aristotle] was such a wonderful old fellow".

DCP-LETT-13697

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
William Ogle
Date:
22 Feb 1882
Source of text:
DAR 261.5: 19 (EH 88205917)
Summary:

Has rarely read anything more interesting than WO’s introduction to his Aristotle translation. Had no notion what a wonderful man Aristotle was. Linnaeus and Cuvier were mere schoolboys compared to him. His ignorance on some points, as on muscles and the means of movement, is curious.
