DCP-LETT-12976

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Ernst Ludwig (Ernst) Krause
Date:
4 Jan [1881]
Source of text:
The Huntington Library (HM 36211)
Summary:

CD is pleased with EK’s account in Kosmos [8 (1880–1): 321–2] of the Buffon and Coleridge passage [cited by Samuel Butler, see 12939, 12969]. Would like a translation published in England, but Butler seeks notoriety and would make unscrupulous use of it. Will ask advice. Thinks EK’s letter to Popular Science Monthly, just received, an excellent reply to Butler.

Source of text:
DAR 166: 14
Summary:

Thanks CD for a second copy of Movement in plants. His letter acknowledging the first must have gone astray. Marvels at the number of interesting observations and is honoured by CD’s mention of his work.

In recent years GH has been applying CD’s principles to the histologico-anatomical structure of plant organs. He will send CD the papers.

Charles Robert Darwin
Date:

Source of text:
DAR 92: B88–90, B106
Summary:

The Litchfields and George Darwin think care should be taken that E. Krause’s reply to S. Butler’s Unconscious memory does not appear to be instigated by CD. Suggest it be sent to Popular Science Review, not Athenæum.
