Charles Robert Darwin
To:
John Murray
Date:

Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (John Murray Archive) (Ms.42152 f. 123)
Summary:

Superb, but exaggerated, review [of Orchids, by M. J. Berkeley] in London Review [& wkly J. Polit. 4 (1862): 553–4]. Asa Gray thinks almost as highly. "I have not been a fool, as I thought I was, to publish." The Athenæum review will hinder sales greatly.
