DCP-LETT-2598

From:

Date:
24 Dec [1859]
Source of text:
Bibliothèque de Genève (MS. fr. 1651, ff. 6–7)
Summary:

Sends Origin to FJP. "I rest my conviction solely on the fact, as it seems to me, that the theory explains large classes of facts otherwise inexplicable." Has made important converts: Lyell, Hooker, Huxley, and W. B. Carpenter.

DCP-LETT-2709

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
François Jules Pictet de la Rive
Date:
23 Feb [1860]
Source of text:
Bibliothèque de Genève (MS. fr. 1651, ff. 8–9)
Summary:

Is extremely pleased by what FJP says of his book [Origin]. Recalls how slowly he changed his own opinion; does not think anyone "could at once undergo so great a revolution in opinion". Thanks FJP for his intended notice of the work [Bibl. Univers. Arch. Sci. Phys. & Nat. 7 (1860)].

Recommends an "excellent Review by that admirable Botanist Asa Gray" [Am. J. Sci. 2d ser. 29 (1860): 153–84].

L. Agassiz is very bitter against CD’s book but H. G. Bronn, although very much opposed, "with noble liberality of sentiment" is going to superintend a German translation.

As FJP’s studies lead him to reflect on "Geological Succession, Geographical Distribution, Classification, Homology & Embryology", CD expects that he will go a little further with him because "these facts … are inexplicable on the theory of creation".

DCP-LETT-2741

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
François Jules Pictet de la Rive
Date:
1 Apr [1860]
Source of text:
Bibliothèque de Genève (MS. fr. 1651, ff. 10–11)
Summary:

Thanks FJP for his review which CD has received and read. There have been many reviews in England opposed to CD but FJP’s is "the single one which seems … perfectly fair & just & candid". The only difference between them is that CD "attaches much more weight to the explanation of facts, & somewhat less weight to the difficulties" than FJP. "I always jump at any theory which groups & explains facts".

Would be proud to send FJP a copy of his Journal of researches.

To:
Carl Vogt
Date:
12 Apr [1867]
Source of text:
Bibliothèque de Genève (Ms fr. 2188, ff. 300–1)
Summary:

Would be great honour to have CV translate Variation, but Schweizerbart has arranged for J. V. Carus to do it.

Has read CV’s Lectures on man [1864] with extreme interest.
