To J. D. Hooker 28 February [1868]
Summary
Does not understand JDH on Pangenesis: on last page he appears to admit all that he regards as mere words on previous pages.
Wallace admires chapter on Pangenesis.
Pangenesis is a comfort. CD gains no idea from words like "potentiality" or "diffusing an influence"; atoms and cells give a distinct idea.
A. Newton told George that Berthold Seemann wrote the Athenæum review
and that Lewis [Lewes] did not write the Pall Mall Gazette review [see 5874].
