My dear Mr. Darwin

Many thanks for the Book which I need not say I shall read with great interest— Even the small print.1

To reduce the length of the book, CD suggested to his publisher, John Murray, that more detailed information be printed in a smaller type (see Correspondence vol. 15, letter to John Murray, 8 January [1867]).
