Product Description

Review
‘Surely destined to stand as one of the triumphs in scope and excellence of post-war publishing in England.’ The Sunday Times

‘The Correspondence in its totality is a treasure house for scientists, sociologists, historians and geographers alike. It also makes fascinating general reading.’ New Scientist

‘The Calendar of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin is … one of the most important reference books to be published in the twentieth century.’ Isis

‘A veritable reference guide to early Victorian natural science.’ Nature

Product Description
The letters in this volume cover two of the most momentous years in Darwin’s life. Begun in 1856 and the fruit of twenty years of study and reflection, Darwin’s manuscript on the species question was a little more than half finished, and at least two years from publication, when in June 1858 Darwin unexpectedly received a letter and a manuscript from Alfred Russel Wallace indicating that he too had independently formulated a theory of natural selection. The letters detail the various stages in the preparation of what was to become one of the world's most famous works: Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, published by John Murray in November 1859. They reveal the first impressions of Darwin’s book given by his most trusted confidants, and they relate Darwin’s anxious response to the early reception of his theory by friends, family members, and prominent naturalists. This volume provides the capstone to Darwin’s remarkable efforts for more than two decades to solve one of nature’s greatest riddles - the origin of species.

First Sentence
It seems hardly worth while to trouble you with the remark drawn forth by your own,-that I do not recollect any definite opinion or statement, as a general view or real generalisation, that both varieties are more restricted in their areas, or have different areas from their (presumed) type species. Read the first page
