To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
14 May 1873
Source of text:
DAR 176: 100
Summary:

Samuel Pozzi’s translation of Expression progressing slowly.

J. J. Moulinié’s translation of Descent is stylistically poor, which may account for low sales.

Difficult to find European naturalists to translate CD’s works. They would rather write books on "Darwinisme" under their own names.
