Quotation from Darwin (Evolution)

Thank you for this and for the gentle manner in which you have pointed it out. All the "Origin" quotes are from a much read, much loved old "Collins Clear Type Press" edition (London & Glasgow, no date), but I did check the quote in three more modern editions, all of which contained "by the Creator". I do not, alas, have access to a first edition, but I will try to get my text amended as soon as possible. With regard to your other query, I am a retired, male academic, and have nothing to do with any other D. Wilson you will have heard of. The sole reason for setting up this website is to stimulate discussion, and I would like the focus to be on ideas, not on writers' cvs. Once again, my thanks for the correction and for your much appreciated courtesy.
