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. In 1881, Darwin published his final book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms. He reflected on reactions to his previous book, The Power of Movement in Plants, and worked on two papers for the Linnean Society on the action of carbonate of ammonia on plants. In this year, Darwin's elder brother, Erasmus, died, and a second grandchild, also named Erasmus, was born.\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 Appendixes: I.
