Nicholas', or Lancing, College was founded in 1849 by Nicholas Woodard, an Anglican priest. It is part of a larger scheme, other colleges in connexion being at Hurstpierpoint and Ardingly. The original school, established in 1848 at Shoreham, may still be seen at the corner of Church Street; it is now a laundry.
I think we almost entirely agree about sexual selection, as I now follow you to large extent about protection to females, having always believed that colour was often transmitted to both sexes; but I do not go quite so far about protection. Always yours most sincerely, Hurstpierpoint. March 1, 1868.
Visitors to that interesting collection shown in London some years ago the Stuart Exhibition may remember this venerable armchair of such sad association. It may be here stated that after Charles I.'s execution, Juxon lived for a time in Sussex at an old mansion still extant, Albourne Place, not far from Hurstpierpoint.
I am intensely anxious to see your paper in Murray's Journal. My dear Wallace, yours very sincerely, Hurstpierpoint. March 19, 1868. Dear Darwin, I should very much value a large photograph of you, and also a carte for my album, though it is too bad to ask you for both, as you must have so many applicants.
Jenner Weir, however, has given me some facts showing that birds apparently admire details of plumage. Yours most sincerely, Hurstpierpoint. Dear Darwin, Many thanks for the photo, which I shall get when I go to town. I return your son's notes with my notes on them. Without going into any details, is not this a strong general argument?
I cannot tell you about the first appearance of tears, but it is very early the first week or two, I think. I can see the Victoria Institute Magazine at the London Library. I shall read your book, every word. Sir C. said he could think of nothing else since he read it. I long to see it. My address is Hurstpierpoint during the winter, and, when in town, 76-1/2 Westbourne Grove.
The discussion which followed during three consecutive meetings is very rich from the nonsense talked. If you would care to see the number I could lend it you. I forgot to remark how capitally you turn the table on the Duke, when you make him create the Angræcum and moth by special creation. Hurstpierpoint. October 22, 1867.
I hear a rumour that we are to have one vol. of it about Christmas. I am now staying chiefly in the country, at Hurstpierpoint, but come up to town once a month at least. You may address simply, "Hurstpierpoint, Sussex." Hoping your health is tolerable and that all your family are well, believe me, dear Darwin, yours very faithfully, Down, Bromley, Kent, S.E. October 12 and 13, 1867.
Hurstpierpoint, Sussex. July 2, 1866. My dear Darwin, I have been so repeatedly struck by the utter inability of numbers of intelligent persons to see clearly, or at all, the self-acting and necessary effects of Natural Selection, that I am led to conclude that the term itself, and your mode of illustrating it, however clear and beautiful to many of us, are yet not the best adapted to impress it on the general naturalist public.
Believe me yours very faithfully, Hurstpierpoint. March 8, 1868. Dear Darwin, I am very sorry your letter came back here while I was going to town, or I should have been very pleased to have seen you. Trimen's paper at the Linnean was a very good one, but the only opponents were Andrew Murray and B. Seeman.
