2 Brook Street - Thanks WW for his book [Indications of the Creator, 1845]: 'I had been expressing my wish that the last two or three chapters in your Bridgewater Treatise [Astronomy and General Physics Considered with Reference to Natural Theology, 1833] could be republished in relation to those very topics. What you have printed has in considerable degree fulfilled this object'. HH cannot think who the author of the Vestiges of Creation can be - 'though from his familiarity with modern science...it seems as if he were a person that must be known. I think him not to be a medical man...The 3rd edition, which is the one I have, is improved in many respects; but the essential faults remain'
