He writes,
- "Pray accept my sincere thanks for your kind note. Your going some way with me gives me great confidence that I am not very wrong. For a very long time I halted half-way; but I do not believe that any enquiring mind will rest half-way".
- "I am surprised considering how ignorant we are on very many points, that more weak parts in my Book have not as yet been pointed out to me. No doubt many will be..."
- "you would, if you had had my leisure done the work just as well, perhaps better, than I have done it..."
In case we are tempted to compare Darwin's tone in contrast to that of incendiary Dawkins':- Darwin writes,
"Do you consider that the successive variations in size of the crop of the Pouter Pigeon, which man has accumulated to please his caprice, have been due to "the creative & sustaining powers of Brahma". In the sense that an omnipotent & omniscient Deity must order & know everything, this must be admitted; yet in honest truth I can hardly admit it. It seems preposterous that a maker of Universes should care about the crop of a Pigeon solely to please men's silly fancies"
