Summary:
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.
