Source of text:
Cambridge University Library Add 7652 IB: 175
Summary:

CD informs AS of the position of the Council of the Geological Society on recommending J. B. Jukes for a geological survey of Newfoundland. Feels Jukes’s application would have best chance of success if Sedgwick, his Professor at Cambridge, wrote a letter.

To:

Source of text:
Cleveland Health Sciences Library (Robert M. Stecher collection)
Summary:

Sorry to hear of AS’s poor health.

Would like to attend Aberdeen meeting [BAAS, 1859] but is unfit for so great an exertion. Has been told he has "suppressed gout".

Pleased that AS remembers their 1831 geological trip, which made CD appreciate the noble science of geology.

Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Adam Sedgwick
Date:
11 Nov [1859]
Source of text:
Sotheby’s, New York (dealers) (13 December 2018, lot 235)
Summary:

Has told Murray to send AS a copy of Origin. CD’s conclusion is diametrically opposed to that which AS has often advocated, but he assures AS he does not send his book out of a spirit of bravado.

DCP-LETT-2555

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Adam Sedgwick
Date:
26 Nov [1859]
Source of text:
The British Library (Egerton MS 3020: 1–3)
Summary:

CD expected AS’s "strong disapprobation" of his book [Origin] but is grieved "to have shocked a man whom I sincerely honour". Has worked "like a slave" on the subject for over 20 years and is not conscious that bad motives have influenced the conclusions at which he has arrived. CD does not think the book will be mischievous and "if I be wrong I shall soon be annihilated". CD may have written too confidently from feeling confident that no "false theory would explain so many classes of facts".
