This volume is part of the definitive edition of letters written by
and to Charles Darwin, the most celebrated naturalist of the
nineteenth century. 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 23 includes letters from 1875, the year in which Darwin
wrote and published Insectivorous plants, a botanical work that was
a great success with the reading public, and started writing Cross
and self fertilisation in the vegetable kingdom. The volume
contains an appendix on the 1875 anti-vivisection debates, with
which Darwin was closely involved, giving evidence before a Royal
Commission on the subject.
