"If I publish anything it must be a very thin & little volume, giving a sketch of my views & difficulties; but it is really dreadfully unphilosophical to give a resume, without exact references, of an unpublished work. But Lyell seems to think I might do this..." Charles Darwin,letter to J.D. Hooker, May 1856
Darwin didn't want to publish in a journal for fear that "they might be abused." Really? And note that he says "If I publish anything." Really? Such tip-toeing and why?
