The British Library (Add MS 46434: 181–3)
Summary:

ARW’s review of 10th ed. of Lyell’s Principles [see 6684] is admirable.

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Samuel Butler
Date:
3 Jan 1880
Source of text:
The British Library (Add MS 34486 D ff. 84–5)
Summary:

Krause altered the MS [of his essay on Erasmus Darwin] considerably before sending it to be translated. This is a common practice, but CD now regrets he did not state in his preface that the article had been modified. The translation had been arranged before SB’s book [Evolution, old and new] was announced.
