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.
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.
