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 21 includes letters from 1873, the year in which Darwin
received responses to his work on human and animal expression. Also
in this year, Darwin continued his work on carnivorous plants and
plant movement, finding unexpected similarities between the plant
and animal kingdoms, raised a subscription for his friend Thomas
Henry Huxley, and decided to employ a scientific secretary for the
first time - his son Francis.
