DCP-LETT-4035

From:
Charles Lyell, 1st baronet
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
11 Mar 1863
Source of text:
K. M. Lyell ed. 1881, 2: 362–4
Summary:

Defends position he takes on species [in Antiquity of man]. CD overestimates CL’s capacity to influence public. Will not dogmatise on descent of man; prepared to accept it, but it "takes away much of the charm from my speculations on the past". Cannot go to Huxley’s length with regard to natural selection. Responds to CD’s comments on Antiquity of man.
