Thanks for CD’s letter on his review of Descent in the Pall Mall Gazette [21 Mar 1871].
Questions CD’s attribution of a sense of beauty to animals and his use of natural selection to explain phenomena JM feels it more appropriate to describe as social selection.
Gratified that CD approves his analysis of CD’s views of moral sense. Does not think there is a fundamental difference between J. S. Mill (Utilitarianism [1863], p. 45) and CD.
His view of those who object to CD’s "new doctrine of the moral sense".
