DCP-LETT-10988

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Charles Bradlaugh
Date:
6 June 1877
Source of text:
DAR 202: 32
Summary:

CD would prefer not to be a witness in court. In any case CD’s opinion is strongly opposed to that of CB and Annie Besant. Has read only notices of their book [Charles Knowlton, Fruits of philosophy, with preface by the publishers A. Besant and C. Bradlaugh (1877)] but believes artificial checks to the natural rate of human increase are very undesirable and that the use of artificial means to prevent conception would soon destroy chastity and, ultimately, the family.
