To E. B. Aveling   [after 23 September 1878]

Summary

Thanks EBA for the copy of the Student’s Magazine.

Author:  Charles Robert Darwin
Addressee:  Edward Bibbens Aveling
Date:  [after 23 Sept 1878]
Classmark:  DAR 202: 9v
Letter no:  DCP-LETT-11709

To E. B. Aveling   13 October 1880

Summary

Publication of EA’s remarks on CD’s writings requires no consent on CD’s part. CD would prefer that no part or volume be dedicated to him as it would imply his general approval of the publication, of which he knows nothing. Though he is a strong advocate of free-thought CD feels that direct attacks on Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect. Freedom of thought is best promoted by gradual illumination of men’s minds produced by advance of science. Has therefore avoided writing on religion though "I may have been unduly biassed by the pain which it would give members of my family, if I aided in any way direct attacks on religion".
