As I am deeply interested in the subject (and I hope not exclusively under a personal point of view) I could not resist venturing to thank you for the right good service which you have done.
I need hardly say that this note requires no answer.
LETTER 125.

TO J.D.

HOOKER.
(125/1.

Parts of this letter are published in "Life and Letters," II., page 362.) Down, [April] 23rd, [1861].
I have been much interested by Bentham's paper in the "Natural History Review," but it would not, of course, from familiarity, strike you as it did me.
