Subject: Re: Linguistics controversy

Not to change the subject away from the fascinating linguistics
controversy, but does anyone with an intellectual-historical bent know
anything about the public response to Robert Chamber's proto-evolutionary
*Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation* (1844)? My understanding is
that the work was extraordinarily popular and echoed around all over the
place.
