Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 42152 ff. 285–6)
Summary:

Detailed questions about illustrations for [forthcoming] Expression.

Asks whether Times review has hurt sales of Descent.

The type on specimen page of Origin [6th ed.] seems clear, but lines are close. The cost is the great point for a wide circulation.
