L.A.S. au professeur Alfred Maury (1817-1892). 4 pp. in-8. Linden Wellington [Somersetshire], 2 oct. 1876. Sur la publication de la traduction française de Primitive culture [La Civilisation Primitive], avec une préface d'Alfred Maury. « The first volume of « La Civilisation Primitive » has reached me from west Reinwald, and a glance over its pages has been enough to show how much it owns to your supervision. I trust that you understand how fully I appreciate your personnal kindness. No one could have ventured to ask so eminent a writer to undertake this troublesome tasks, pendered all the more difficult by the translatress never having reconciled herself to this appeal to the highest authority. It is, I presume, by your own wish that no mention of your name appears in the preface. But if a few lines of announcement appear in the English literary journals, may I ask if it should be stored that the sheets have passes through your hands ». Il lui demande un portrait photographique de lui « to place among the enthnologists whom I have the honor of counting as friends ».
