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.

DCP-LETT-2445

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".
