DCP-LETT-6597

From:
John Murray
To:
Charles Robert Darwin
Date:
3 Feb [1869]
Source of text:
DAR 171: 363
Summary:

Gives consent, which is unnecessary because term of protection has expired, for French translation of Journal of researches.

Is at a loss to know how many copies of F. Müller’s Facts and arguments for Darwin to print.

The printer is ready for copy for a new "edition" of Variation. [Presumably another issue. 2d edition did not appear until 1875.]

DCP-LETT-6598

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Andrew Crombie Ramsay
Date:
3 Feb [1869]
Source of text:
DAR 261.9: 4 (EH 88205977)
Summary:

Received and read ACR’s Physical geology. Places him at head of the subaeria denudationists. Unfortunately CD confounded William Whitaker’s article with ACR’s views and gave Whitaker credit for first producing the evidence. Will rectify it now. Has eliminated the rubbish he wrote on the Weald and will add a paragraph on importance of subaerial denudation.
