DCP-LETT-2528

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Leonard Jenyns; Leonard Blomefield
Date:
13 Nov [1859]
Source of text:
Scriptorium (dealers) (1981)
Summary:

Invites criticisms of his book [Origin] which is "only an abstract & very much condensed". Knows LJ will not agree with the lengths to which CD goes. It took long years to convert CD, but he cannot persuade himself "that a theory which explains … several large classes of facts, can be wholly wrong".

Hopes to publish his full MS if he ever gets strong enough.

Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Alfred Russel Wallace

13 Nov 1859
Source of text:
The British Library (Add MS 46434)
Summary:

A copy of CD’s book [Origin] has been sent to ARW; invites his comments. "God knows what the public will think". Hooker believes Lyell is a convert, but CD does not think so, although he is "deeply interested". If he can convert Huxley, CD will be content.
