Summary:
Sends CD a copy of his book [Die Urgeschichte der Menschheit, 2 vols. (1873)].
In Germany CD’s views have achieved great recognition among naturalists, but in other disciplines there is great controversy. OC’s book seeks to resolve the controversy by showing how state, morals, religion, and church have developed from natural beginnings.
