Down,

Beckenham, Kent

Railway Station

Orpington. S.E.R.

April 1st. 1878

My dear Sir,

I am extremely glad to hear of Häckel’s successful reception in Vienna. With respect to Virchow, his address appeared to me very arrogant, and a he lectured the best naturalists in Germany, as if they had been school-boys. No doubt his address will have a considerable effect on many persons, though it has produced none on me. The principle of evolution is too well established for any one man to shake it. –

I am extremely sorry to hear of || the death of Arthur Lane: should you have any fitting opportunity when you next see Dr. Lane, I hope that you will express for me my sympathy

My dear Sir

Yours sincerely

Ch. Darwin
