THE ACADEMY,

A WEEKLY REVIEW OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART.

LONDON, W. C. Nov. 11. 1874

Dear Sir,

It has long been my wish to ask you to write an article for me in the Academy: and would now request to know if it will be agreeable for you to undertake a book on the Elements of Embryology by Dr. Michael Foster of Cambridge and Mr. F. Balfour a very remarkable young man Dr. Foster’s pupil. The book contains some original work which will interest you. You can write in German, & the English translation will be submitted to your revision before publication.

I sent a letter to the Editor of your excellent Literaturzeitung making the amende honorable for a paragraph we had taken from one of the German papers about the University of Jena. ||

May I ask you to send me the copy containing it if it has been published. And I shall be very glad, if you will mention to the Editor, that we would exchange the Academy with the Literaturzeitung – each sending post free. This is an act of comity we are doing with several of the best foreign Journals; and I feel that there is a certain analogy between the Literaturzeitung and the Academy which may be expressed as follows:

We are both running our adversaries to earth, and the fittest will no doubt in both cases survive.

With great respect

Your faithful servant
