Summary:

Thanks JS for essays. CD read the French abstracts [of "Hemisepius", K. Dan. Vidensk. Selsk. Skr. (Naturvidensk. Math. Afd.) 5th ser. 10 (1875): 463–82, and "Sepiadarium og Idiosepius", K. Dan. Vidensk. Selsk. Skr. (Naturvidensk. Math. Afd.) 6th ser. 1 (1880–5): 211–42]. Hectocotylisation has always astonished him.

Wishes JS believed in evolution.

DCP-LETT-13256

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Robert Francis Cooke; John Murray
Date:
29 July 1881
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 387–8)
Summary:

CD thought it was understood that he wanted to publish [Earthworms] at once, but as Murray "has the risk" CD must yield, though it destroys all his satisfaction in the book to have the publication hanging over him.

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Ernst Ludwig (Ernst) Krause
Date:
30 July 1881
Source of text:
The Huntington Library (HM 36216)
Summary:

Publication of Earthworms delayed, but will send sheets to EK when he receives them [so that he can decide about publishing extracts in Kosmos].

Thanks for "Die Gegenwart".

"’Instinct’ of plants" is a most puzzling problem.

Does not see how mind can be defined "if we subtract consciousness".

DCP-LETT-13265

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Robert Francis Cooke; John Murray
Date:
31 July 1881
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 389–90)
Summary:

CD obliged to Murray for yielding to his wish for prompt publication [of Earthworms] but now uneasy about the risk. If Murray feels it will sell badly at this season he is unwilling to bear the responsibility. Murray should decide as he sees fit. CD is no longer so sulky as when he last wrote.
