DCP-LETT-12060

From:
Ernst Ludwig (Ernst) Krause
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
23 May 1879
Source of text:
DAR 92: B28
Summary:

Samuel Butler seems not even to have read works of Erasmus Darwin. Quotes only passages quoted by other authors. Thorough account now more necessary than ever.

CD’s preliminary notice should be incorporated in German edition completely unchanged, though some annotation is needed to explain matters unfamiliar to German readers.

Would like to have article by CD for Kosmos.
