Charles Darwin - Darwin Francis

Originally published in 1908, this is a collection of Darwin's personal letters, the more scientific ones being omitted. Francis Darwin has tried to arrange the letters into a chronological sequence, although this is at times difficult, ensuring that threads of research and events are linked together. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.Contents Include: The Darwins Autobiography Religion Reminiscences Cambridge Life, The Appointment to the Beagle 1828-1831 The Voyage 1831-1836 London and Cambridge 1836-1842 Life at Down 1842-1854 The Foundations of the Origin of Species 1831-1844 The Growth of the Origin of Species 1843-1858 The Writing of the Origin of Species 1843-1858 The Writing of the Origin of the Species June 1858-November 1859 The Publication of the Origin of Species October to December 1859 The Origin of Species, Reviews and Criticisms, Adhesions and Attacks 1860 The Spread of Evolution 1861-1871 Miscellanea, Revival of Geological Work, the Vivisection Question, Honours The Fertilisation of Flowers Climbing Plants, Power of Movement in Plants, Insectivorous Plants, Kew Index of Plant Names Conclusion The Funeral in Westminster Abbey Portraits Keywords: Origin Of Species Francis Darwin Foundations Of The Origin Of Species Chronological Sequence Cambridge Origin Of The Species Personal Letters Reminiscences 1900s Beagle Autobiography Artwork Appointment Threads
