To John Murray 5 December [1860]
Summary
Reminds JM that copies of diagram must be printed off [for Origin, 3d ed.]. It must be carefully reproduced or parts of the book will be as unintelligible as Hebrew. Hopes never again to have to make so many additions in order that many rather stupid reviewers will at least understand what he meant.
There is a good article on the Origin in Macmillan’s Magazine [by Henry Fawcett].
