London - CL has just received a letter from Scrope [George Poulett Scrope] giving his opinion of CL's 'Principles of Geology', volume 2 and the review of it in the Quarterly Review [WW, Review of 'Lyell's 'Principles of Geology', volume 2', Quarterly Review, 1832]: 'Scrope is regarded by Lockhart, Murray and Co. as a first rate reviewer an opinion in which I fully coincide'. He thought the review was good and fair, and thought it by either Fitton [William Henry Fitton] or Greenough [George Bellas Greenough]. The most common complaint against CL's book is that the most original part - the extinction of species - is the least dwelt upon.
