Charles Darwin's publisher John Murray played an important, if often underrated, role in bringing his theories to the public. As their letters and publishing archives show they had a friendly, business like and successful relationship. This was despite fundamental scientific and religious differences between the men. In addition to publishing Darwin, Murray also published many of the critical and supportive works and reviews which Darwin's own works excited.
查尔斯·达尔文的出版商约翰·默里在将他的理论推向公众方面发挥了重要作用,尽管他的作用经常被低估。从他们的信件和出版档案可以看出,他们之间有着友好、务实和成功的关系。尽管两人在科学和宗教方面存在根本分歧,但默里除了出版达尔文的著作外,还出版了许多对达尔文作品持批评和支持态度的著作和评论。
