For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The letters in this volume were written during the years 1844–6. By 1844 Darwin had become an established figure within the circle of London naturalists and his life at Down had assumed the regularity that the responsibility for a thriving and growing household entailed. Despite his move to rural Kent, Darwin was not isolated, and this volume shows how frequent were his trips to London and further afield, how regular his meetings with his scientific colleagues, and how extensive his network of correspondents.\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, 1844–6\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes\u003cbr\u003e Manuscript alterations and comments\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Bibliographical register and index to correspondents\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Evolution [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Evolution\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Evolution%20%5BPSAJ%5D%22\"\u003ePSAJ\u003c\/a\u003e], History of science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20science%20%5BPDX%5D%22\"\u003ePDX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45978384597272,"sku":"9780521255899","price":117.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521255899_ee78773b-2b6b-404a-aae2-2eca2f454baa.gif?v=1691374133","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-correspondence-of-charles-darwin-volume-3-1844-1846-hardback-9780521255899","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
