From Ernst Haeckel 12 May 1867
Summary
Thanks CD for new edition of Origin [4th ed. (1866)].
Comments on CD’s criticism of the harsh tone of Generelle Morphologie. Thinks he may have harmed himself but not the cause. Believes a radical reform of the science necessary, and since most scientists take a prejudiced view of the matter, a vigorous attack is essential.
