| 50723 | TLS(CAR,X) attached. Unwin sends BR an advance copy of History; he has never had so much difficulty in getting a book bound. As soon as all copies are gone upon publication on 19 November, he will apply again to the Moberly Pool for more paper. He has placed translation rights in all the principal countries of Europe. |
| 50724 | Enclosures: TLS(CAR,X) attached. Ts. is titled "Sale of Books by Bertrand Russell 1946", and concerns translations of his books. Letter is from J.B.S. Haldane and is described in record 59974. Re advertising in Daily Worker. Ads for History will appear in about 3 dozen papers. |
| 50725 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Stanley Unwin has gone to Paris for UNESCO meetings. BR is told about the recreational and educational use of Freedom and Organization for the services. |

| 50733 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. There is a possibility that The Scientific Outlook could appear as a paperbound Guild Book, in 75-100,000 copies, produced in Holland or Canada. |
| 50734 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Unwin encourages BR to bring Scientific Outlook up to date—revisions would be no extra expense for a Guild Book edition. The synopsis for Human Knowledge could be more attractive if the level of difficulty is about equal to that of Our Knowledge. |
| 50735 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Unwin congratulates BR on completing Human Knowledge and asks him to delay despatch of the typescript to Simon and Schuster. On the binding of the reprint of History. Unwin would enjoy a further talk with BR at the Reform Club. |

Unwin enjoyed BR's talk at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House, 27 Jan.) and his debate with Copleston. |
| 50738 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Allen and Unwin are interested in Ideas and Beliefs of the Victorians. |
| 50739 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Mrs. Delisle Burns confirms that no book will follow The First Europe: "When you see Bertie Russell will you some time thank him for the corrections—minute ones even to commas—which he sent me long ago via Warder. I have seen him recently three times from a bus stop in Baker Street, but never from a speaking position!" |
| 50740 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Advertisements for the Scott Nearing debate and Prospects of Industrial Civilization are being deleted from future printings of BR's books. The new printing of History is on sale in the U.K., but many booksellers will have sold out immediately. |

| 50743 | TLS(CAR,X) is attached. Including Readers Union, total sales of History are nearly 70,000, which is better (as Unwin told BR) than Simon and Schuster. Does BR wish to have half-yearly accounts or wait until April 30? Unwin sends BR Beachcroft's Collected Short Stories as his work was unfamiliar to BR and he is a master of the technique. |

| 50782 | "Concerning the contents of the article on Prosperity [Property], I must confess that I am somewhat disappointed.... The abolition of private ownership of land apply mainly to England and scarcely to America.... I am perfectly willing to publish Russell's article as it stands, but I would not hesitate to publish criticisms of it. I am afraid of the book, and I think first it would as a business venture be a complete failure." "Thus I will say that I am willing to publish Mr. Russell's article, but I feel that I expose him unnecessarily and he might later on regret having written the article. I will hold it back until I hear from you that the article is seriously written and meant to see the light of publication." Also received are the typed additions for Justice in War-Time. |
