Cher monsieur
Je me suis entendu avec M. Moulinie et Mr Reinwald son editeur pour publier dans la Revue quelques chapitres de votre nouveau livre.2 Le premier a paru dans le dernier no de la Revue scientifique dont je vous ai fait envoyer quelques exemplaires;3 si vous desirez en recevoir un plus grand nombre, je me ferai un plaisir de vous les envoyer de suite, ou de l’expédier á toutes les adresses que vous m’indiqueriez
Vous recevrez presque en même temps que ma lettre une epreuve de la traduction du chapitre suivant:4 je vous serais fort reconnaissant de vouloir bien la corriger comme le font les autres auteurs anglais dont les travaux paraissent dans la Revue. C’est par oubli qu’on ne vous a pas envoyé les epreuves du premier chapitre; mais si vous y aviez remarqué quelque faute, vous pourriez faire un petit erratum qu’on joindrait a l’article que vous recevez maintenant
Croyez moi cher monsieur | votre bien devoué | Em Alglave

Dear sir
I have come to an agreement with Mr Moulinié and his publisher Mr Reinwald to publish some chapters of your new book in the Revue.2 The first has appeared in the latest no of the Revue scientifique, of which I sent you some copies;3 if you would like more, it would be my pleasure to send them to you straight away, or to dispatch them to all the addresses that you indicate
You will receive, almost at the same time as my letter, proofs of the translation of the following chapter:4 I should be most grateful if you could correct these, like the other English authors whose work appears in the Revue. It was by oversight that you were not sent the proofs of the first chapter; but if you should have remarked some mistake, you could write a short erratum, which we would add to the article that you are about to receive
Believe me dear sir | truly yours | Em Alglave
