Summary:
Sends CD proofs of a lecture he will give at Liverpool. Asks CD to check the part referring to him.
Élie de Beaumont’s remark, in which he requires CD to recant before being admitted to the [French] Academy, is intolerable. "This spirit has much to do with the present condition of France."

Summary:
Reports on the 1870 BAAS meeting at Liverpool. Huxley’s address was over the heads of the laymen.
Tyndall’s was eloquent to listen to, disappointing to read.
George Rolleston’s "Rococo" address [Nature 2 (1870): 423–7, 442–6].
Murchison.
Lyell.
Has done an immense lot of work.
Regrets CD has not kept the simple title "Origin of man" [for Descent].

Comments on JDH’s report of Liverpool meeting.
Huxley’s address.
Sir Roderick [Murchison]’s "apotheosis".
Tyndall’s lecture is "grand" except for egotistical beginning. Some Frenchmen have pitched into CD for using the "as if" reasoning, which Tyndall shows is justified.
Has just read George Rolleston’s address in Nature.
Anton Dohrn says German public have high opinion of Lyell.

Summary:
Various arrangements concerning the publication of Descent. "It will cause men to prick up [their] ears – & to elevate their eyebrows." JM thinks he will venture to print 2500 copies.
Suggests CD tone down as possibly indelicate a passage on proportion of advances made by the two sexes in animals.
