DCP-LETT-2535

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
William Benjamin Carpenter
Date:
18 Nov [1859]
Source of text:
DAR 261.6: 1 (EH 88205918)
Summary:

Comments on WBC’s response to the Origin. Hopes he will review it. Acceptance will depend more on men like WBC, with well-established reputations, than on his own writings.

"Lyell thinks the chapter on the Imperfection of the Geological Record not exaggerated."

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
William Benjamin Carpenter
Date:
19 Nov [1859]
Source of text:
DAR 261.6: 2 (EH 88205919)
Summary:

Asks to hear WBC’s conclusion about the Origin when he has read it all. Knows only one believer so far – J. D. Hooker. Sometimes feels frightened that he may be a monomaniac.

3 Dec [1859]
Source of text:
DAR 261.6: 3 (EH 88205920)
Summary:

Delighted by WBC’s letter about Origin. There is now "a great physiologist on our side". "You have done me an essential kindness in checking the odium theologicum in the E[dinburgh] R[eview] … immaterial whether we go quite the same lengths … the principle is everything."
