DCP-LETT-3250

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:
10 Sept [1861]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms.42152 ff. 104–105)
Summary:

Asks that a copy of Origin [3d ed.] be sent to Mlle Clémence-Auguste Royer; she has arranged with a publisher for a French translation.

Origin is exciting much attention in Germany.

Surprised to receive a Dutch translation.

Has never seen an advertisement [of 3d ed.], which is a pity. Hopes "Bishop of Oxford & Co." have not made JM sorry he published it.

DCP-LETT-3259

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:
21 Sept [1861]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms.42152 ff. 106–107)
Summary:

Asks JM’s opinion on publishing his MS on orchids. It has new facts, and resembles a Bridgewater Treatise, but only those who care for natural history would be interested. Would share the risk.

DCP-LETT-3264

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:
24 Sept [1861]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms.42152 ff. 108–109B)
Summary:

Thanks JM for his liberal offer [to publish Orchids]. CD fears the public will not be interested, but thinks it will "do good to the Origin as it will show that I worked hard on details and it will perhaps serve [to] illustrate how Natural History may be worked under the belief of the modification of Species".
