LETTER 129.

HENRY FAWCETT TO CHARLES DARWIN.
(129/1.

It was in reply to the following letter that Darwin wrote to Fawcett: "You could not possibly have told me anything which would have given me more satisfaction than what you say about Mr.Mill's opinion.
Until your review appeared I began to think that perhaps I did not understand at all how to reason scientifically." ("Life of Henry Fawcett," by Leslie Stephen, 1885, page 100.) Bodenham, Salisbury, July 16th [1861].
I feel that I ought not to have so long delayed writing to thank you for your very kind letter to me about my article on your book in "Macmillan's Magazine." I was particularly anxious to point out that the method of investigation pursued was in every respect philosophically correct.
