Requests permission to translate Descent into Polish.
Has completed his book [The African sketch-book (1873)].
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.
