To J. F. W. Herschel 23 May [1861]
Summary
Thanks JFWH for his "Physical geography" [from the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1861)]
and for what he says about Origin, though JFWH goes but a little way with CD. Gives reasons why he cannot accept "Design" in nature, though he is in a "complete jumble" on the point. Is confident of his views because they have aided good workers in several fields to "group and understand many scattered facts".
