DCP-LETT-7685

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Morley, Viscount Morley of Blackburn
Date:
14 Apr [1871]
Source of text:
DAR 146: 410
Summary:

Comments on JM’s review of Descent, vol. 2 [Pall Mall Gaz. 13 (1871): 1358–9].

Mistake CD made "in speaking of greatest happiness as the foundation of morals" is unintelligible to CD. Discusses J. S. Mill’s view of moral feelings as natural. Discusses basis of conscience.

Glad to read remarks on hive-bees.
