My dear Sir, I herewith send all of the M.S. excepting the last chapter which I can write before I get the proof sheets, & excepting a chapter on Man – though it will depend upon circumstances whether I shall write this. I fear I shall never get the work done by April & certainly not if I give the chapter on Man; but I am most anxious to begin at once printing otherwise I shall go on forever. The wood blocks are ready except revising. Please to look at the enclosed instructions; at foot-notes & sizeof page & please be sure to forward the paper of illustrations with the M.S. I enclose two titles for you to give your opinion which you like best, that is if it is not too late to make any change. Upon going through all of my M.S. I have come to the conclusion that the book probably will not have a large sale. Perhaps Chap. 1 would give a fair & favorable idea of the interest of the first ten chapters; but the latter chapters are the most valuable, though now illegible. I shall wish to hear how large the book will be.
