To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
1 Apr 1859
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms. 41913 p.32)

Source of text:
DAR 115: 9
Summary:

Thanks for letter of caution about Murray. He has offered to publish without seeing MS. CD thinks book will be popular to a certain extent. Lyell’s inducing Murray to publish Origin grates CD’s pride.

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:
2 Apr [1859]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms.42153 ff.18–19)
Summary:

Accepts JM’s terms for publication of Origin. If, on reading the MS, JM thinks it will not sell, CD frees him from the offer. Will send chapters soon so he can judge. Though some parts are dry and abstruse, CD thinks it will be interesting to "those who care for the curious problem of the origin of all animate forms".

Date:
5 Apr [1859]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms.42152 ff.35–35A)
Summary:

Sends title and first three chapters [of Origin]. Thinks first chapter will interest the public and is sure views are original. If JM thinks otherwise, he should freely reject the work. Chapter 2 is dull and abstruse, chapter 3 is plain and interesting.
