Mentioning his "Descent of Man."
[To Bibliographisches Institut 28 August 1876]
"I am very much obliged for your kind present of the new edition of Brehm's Thierleben. The illustrations are admirable; but it wd be superfluous in me to express any opinion on this work, as I have plainly shewn in my Descent of Man how much I have profited by it & how much I value it." Etc.
