Mentions receipt of EH’s History of creation [1876].
Describes his own work on cross- and self-fertilised flowers. Subject bears on the very principle of life.
Gives an example of the power of reasoning shown by dogs.
CD cannot remember whether he was on the committee of the Jamaica affair [for prosecution of Governor Eyre in 1866] but he subscribed £10.
It is curious and amusing how positivists hate all men of science, possibly because their prophet [Comte] made laughable and gigantic blunders in predicting the course of science.
