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 26 includes letters from 1878, the year in which Darwin with
his son Francis carried out experiments on plant movement and bloom
on plants. Francis spent the summer at a botanical research
institute in Germany; and father and son exchanged many detailed
letters about his work. Meanwhile, Darwin tried to secure
government support for attempts by one of his Irish correspondents
to breed a blight-resistant potato.
