It is already an important source for students and scholars in many academic disciplines. Notes and appendixes put these fascinating and wide-ranging letters in context, making the letters accessible to both scholars and general readers. Darwin depended on correspondence to collect data from all over the world, and to discuss his emerging ideas with scientific colleagues, many of whom he never met in person. The letters are published chronologically: Volume 18 includes letters from 1870, as well as a supplement of more than a hundred recently discovered or redated letters from before 1870. During 1870 Darwin was making final preparations for publication of Descent of Man, as well as continuing his research on expression in humans and animals.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e List of letters\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e List of provenances\u003cbr\u003e Note on editorial policy\u003cbr\u003e Darwin\/Wedgwood genealogy\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations and symbols\u003cbr\u003e THE CORRESPONDENCE\u003cbr\u003e Supplement to the Correspondence, 1835-69\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes: I.
