¥Lady Hope is the only one who has reported this incident, so we have no direct corroboration.
¥Other information about Darwin in his last months (including some correspondence) does not suggest that he made any dramatic changes at this time.
¥James Moore & Paul Marston have probably done the most thorough research on this topic in MooreÕs book The Darwin Legend, and MarstonÕs article ÒCharles Darwin and the Christian Faith.Ó
