Asks JM to grant permission for a French translation of his "Naturalist’s voyage" [Journal of researches].
Agrees to printing 1000 copies of Fritz Müller’s Facts and arguments for Darwin though he fears it is foolish. Lists seven publications for review copies.
Suggests best form of lettering for spine of Müller’s Facts and arguments for Darwin.
Thanks JM for Quarterly Review. A. R. Wallace’s article inimitably good – and a triumph that it appears where it will make B[ishop] of O[xford] and Owen gnash their teeth.
Delighted at the sale of F. Müller’s book.
Thinks he has brought Origin up to "present standard of science" [5th ed. (June 1869)].
Slow progress on Descent.
His horse rolled over him, but he is recovering rapidly.
He told Giovanni Canestrini that stereotypes [for Variation] would cost £10.
Reminds RC of his suggestion that a copy [of Origin, 5th ed.] be sent to Scientific Opinion for review.
Wishes JM’s new periodical [the Academy] could have been a weekly so it might kill the Athenæum by a lingering death.
Has drafted a piece [about Descent] but is not pleased with it.
Assumes Murray will give permission for French translation of Orchids; asks that stereotypes of woodcuts be supplied at cost, since if expensive the work will not appear.
Masson et Fils have brought out a third French edition [of Origin] without informing CD and without the advantage of the corrections of the 4th and 5th English editions. For this and other reasons CD wants to give translation rights for the 5th English edition to C. Reinwald.
