{364} There are letters from these people in _The Life and Letters of Dr. Samuel Butler_.

{369} Butler made this note in 1899 before the publication of _Shakespeare’s Sonnets Reconsidered_, which was published in the same year. _The Odyssey Rendered info English Prose_ appeared in 1900 and _Erewhon Revisited_, the last book published in his lifetime, in 1901. He made no analysis of the sales of these three books, nor of the sales of _A First Year in Canterbury Settlement_ published in 1863, nor of his pamphlet _The Evidence for the Resurrection_, published in 1865. _The Way of all Flesh_ and _Essays on Life_, _Art_, _and Science_ were not published till after his death. I do not know what he means by _A Book of Essays_, unless it may be that he incurred an outlay of £3 11s. 9d. in connection with a projected republication of his articles in the _Universal Review_ or of some of his Italian articles about the _Odyssey_.

{376} Butler had two separate grounds of complaint against Charles Darwin, one scientific, the other personal. With regard to the personal quarrel some facts came to light after Butler’s death and the subject is dealt with in a pamphlet entitled Charles Darwin and Samuel Butler: A Step towards Reconciliation, by Henry Festing Jones (A. C. Fifield, 1911).
