Charles Robert Darwin

Herbert Spencer

Source of text:
University of London, Senate House Library (MS.791/111)
Summary:

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.
