Asks what his profits on the reprints of Descent will be when half have been sold.
Good reviews in Saturday Review and Pall Mall Gazette;
contemptuous one as usual in Athenæum.

Pleased about sale and new issue [of Descent]. Discusses presentation copies.
Pleased with sum the reprint [of Descent] has produced. Terms of payment accepted.
Thanks JM for Nonconformist [review of Descent, 32 (1871): 240–1].
Would like to see other out-of-way reviews – especially religious.
Other reviews favourable, including Wallace’s [see 7569], which is admirable.
Is astonished at sale [of Descent]. Will make no additions, but must correct a few misprints and errors [for third issue].
Has this day sent off corrections for new issue [of Descent]. Asks whether title-page may read "Sixth Thousand".
Amount received from 2d issue of Descent now stands at £840. Would be glad to have 2000 more copies printed because he wants time to collect information for a corrected edition.
Discusses new edition of Descent.
