TAILIEUCHUNG - Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1 (of 2)

In Westminster Abbey there repose, almost side by side, by no conscious design yet with deep significance, the mortal remains of Isaac Newton and of Charles Darwin. "'The Origin of Species,'" said Wallace, "will live as long as the 'Principia' of Newton." Near by are the tombs of Sir John Herschel, Lord Kelvin and Sir Charles Lyell; and the medallions in memory of Joule, Darwin, Stokes and Adams have been rearranged so as to admit similar memorials of Lister, Hooker and Alfred Russel Wallace. Now that the plan is completed, Darwin and Wallace are together in this wonderful galaxy of the great men of science. | Alfred Russel Wallace Letters and Reminiscences Vol. 1 1 Alfred Russel Wallace Letters and Reminiscences Vol. 1 The Project Gutenberg EBook of Alfred Russel Wallace Letters and Reminiscences Vol. 1 of 2 by James Marchant This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Illustration Alfred Russel Wallace Letters and Reminiscences By James Marchant _With Two Photogravures and Eight Half-tone Plates_ IN TWO VOLUMES Volume I CASSELL AND COMPANY LTD London New York Toronto and Melbourne 1916 To the Memory of PART I 2 ANNIE WALLACE PREFACE These two volumes consist of a selection from several thousands of letters entrusted to me by the Wallace family and dating from the dawn of Darwinism to the second decade of the twentieth century supplemented by such biographical particulars and comments as are required for the elucidation of the correspondence and for giving movement and continuity to the whole. The wealth and variety of Wallace s own correspondence excluding the large collection of letters which he received from many eminent men and women and the necessity for somewhat lengthy introductions and many annotations have expanded the work to two there was indeed enough good material to make four volumes. The family has given me unstinted confidence in using or rejecting letters and reminiscences
