To Thomas Henry Huxley 3 January [1861]

Congratulates THH on first number of Natural History Review.

Owen’s Leeds address [Rep. BAAS (1858): xlix–cx].
In his historical sketch of opinion on species CD has picked out some sentences [by Owen] with which he will take some revenge. CD is not bold enough to come to an open quarrel.
