of the papers sent you would have led you to suspect that Butler was mistaken, but I do not mean to complain if this is not in any degree the case . I understood him to mean mistaken in supposing that Mr. Darwin had undertaken his book Erasmus Darwin because of or with reference to Evolution Old and New. Even in 1879-1880 when the events were proceeding I had suspected that Butler might have been mistaken in this and I therefore told Mr. F. Darwin so. I could not tell him that my suspicion

Butler's work Evolution Old and New had appeared since the publication of Dr. Krause's article . No mention was made of the fact that the article had been rewritten with an eye to Evolution Old and New. In fact the preface made this supposition impossible. Mr. Darwin knew perfectly well that he was not giving what he said he was giving: he knew he was saying that what he was publishing had appeared previously to my book, and he knew also that my book had in reality appeared prior to this by

paragraph was struck out the unforeseen result followed that the two notes changed their meaning. The first note about Mr. Dallas now referred to the unaltered article and practically declared that it had been translated as it originally appeared in Kosmos; and the second note that Evolution Old and New had appeared since Kosmos, confirmed this meaning by implying particularly that nothing in the translated article could possibly have got there in consequence of Evolution Old and New.

the writing of Evolution Old and New and took the teleological view that Mr. Darwin had put the notes into his preface intending his reader to conclude that if the article as translated contained anything condemnatory of Evolution Old and New this would show hoe little worthy I must be to consideration when my opinions were refused in advance by one who could have no bias in regard to them (Unconscious Memory, Chap. IV.) He showed clearly in his letter to the Athenæum 31 Jan. 1880 that this

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 3 The increased importance which the theory of evolution in its Darwinian form has given to ancestry will naturally apply most forcibly to that brilliant and thorough thinker whose name represents to many readers the first and last of evolution: If Charles Darwin has made an epoch in human thought for the nineteenth century, how much of his intellectual force can be traced to his ancestors?

It alone gives the history of Dr. Darwin's life, while Dr. Krause's brief essay is entirely concerned with the analysis of his works, and the vindication of his claim to be the true founder, in great part at least, of that system of evolution through natural selection of which his grandson is the exponent in our own day. To Mr. Charles Darwin the preparation of this sketch has evidently been a labor of love, and we, of course, should be the last to carp at his filial piety. At the same

It includes a review of his works and gives a photograph taken from a family portrait, and several woodcuts. It fills a twelvemo of over 200 pages. [page] 9

nor did he ever tell Butler that he had written these words in his preface. They formed part of a paragraph which was struck out at the request of Dr. Krause because of other matter which it contained and not with the intention of making it appear that the article had been translated without modification.
