DCP-LETT-12658

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Robert Francis Cooke; John Murray
Date:
16 July 1880
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 372–3)
Summary:

CD had intended to pay costs of publishing Movement in plants because he did not think it fair that Murray should risk publishing a purely scientific work. He would certainly prefer publishing on the usual terms if JM decided to do so. The book contains much new and curious matter, but there are very few persons in England interested in physiological botany.
