subsequent editions of the Origin contained the Historical Sketch. In 1880 when writing5 to Samuel Butler about his introduction to Dr Krause' book on Erasmus Darwin, Darwin forgot that he had struck out a passage in proof which unintentionally altered the meaning of a footnote. The only reason for mentioning these details is that they show, as Professor Eiseley has pointed out, that Darwin for all his eminence and genius was not different from other men; and his Notebooks are like that of any

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [B9] Mr S. Butler (a First year in Canterbury Settlement 1863 p. 157) says it is very important not to disturb the sheep during the lambing season; for a Ewe, if separated during the first few days from her lamb, the first time she produces she is apt to leave them upon the slightest provocation will be apt same afterwards to dessert them. But after a ewe has once reared a lamb she will be fond of the next when old will face anything, even a dog, for

is an allusion to Mr. Butler's book Evolution Old and New. Butler saw that this third footnote changed the sense which the other two footnotes had borne when they stood alone in the preface to the first edition, and wrote to the Academy, 17th December, 1887: Mr. Francis Darwin has now stultified his father's preface. In so writing he did not know, and he had no means of knowing, that Mr. Francis Darwin's third footnote had restored to the preface the meaning which Charles Darwin had originally

originated. Henry Festing Jones, Butler's biographer and friend, brought out a Pamphlet in 1911, now out of print, entitled Charles Darwin and Samuel Butler, A Step toward Reconciliation. Francis Darwin had helped to bring about this reconciliation by telling what he knew, and producing documents that Festing Jones had not seen. Neither had Francis Darwin seen Butler's Preface to the 2nd edition of Evolution Old and New, written in April 1882, on hearing of the death of Charles Darwin. In it Butler's

But Mr. Francis Darwin did not see the book, and knew nothing about this preface till I read it to him in November, 1910. At the end of 1887 Mr. Francis Darwin published The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin. It contains this passage, III, 220: The publication of the Life of Erasmus Darwin led to an attack by Mr. Samuel Butler, which amounted

Francis makes a reference to the incident in Vol. III of Life and Letters, p. 220, where he says: The publication of the 'Life of Erasmus Darwin' led to an attack by Mr. Samuel Butler, which amounted to a charge of falsehood against my father. After consulting his friends, he came to the determination to leave the charge unanswered as being unworthy of his notice….The affair gave my father much pain, but the

therefore, to ask for the explanation, which I do not doubt you will readily give me. Yours faithfully, S. BUTLER Charles Darwin to Samuel Butler January 3rd, 1880 My dear Sir, Dr. Krause, soon after the appearance of his article in Kosmos, told me that he intended to publish it separately and to alter it considerably, and the altered MS. was sent to Mr. Dallas for translation.
