My dear Huxley,

Very many thanks for Science & Culture, & I am sure that I shall read most of the Essays with much interest. With respect to Automatism, I wish that you could review yourself in the old, & of course forgotten, trenchant style, & then you would have answer yourself with equal inciseness; & thus by Jove you might go on ad infinitum to the joy & instruction of the world.¹

Ever yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
