Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... REMINISCENCES OF MY FATHERS EVERYDAY LIFE. It is my wish in the present chapter to give some idea of my father's everyday life. It has seemed to mo that I might carry out this object in the form of a rough sketch of a day's life at Down, interspersed with such recollections as are called up by tho record. Many of these recollections, which have a meaning for those who knew my father, will seem colourless or trifling to strangers. Nevertheless, I give them in the hope that they may help to preserve that impression of his personality which remains on the minds of those who knew and loved him--an impression at once so vivid and so untranslatable into words. From the Century Magixtine, January 1883. Of his personal appearance (in these days of multiplied photographs) it is hardly necessary to say much. He was about sis feet in height, but scarcely looked so tall, as he stooped a good deal; in later days ho yielded to the stoop; but I can remember seeing him long ago swinging back his arms to open out his chest, and holding himself upright with a jerk. He gave one the idea that he had been active rather than strong; his shoulders were not broad for his height, though certainly not narrow. As a young man he must have had much endurance, for on one of the shore excursions from the Beagle, when all were suffering from want of water, he was one of the two who were better able than the rest to struggle on in search of it. As a boy he was active, and could jump a bar placed at the height of the "Adam's apple" in his neck. He walked with a swinging action, using a stick heavily shod with iron, which he struck loudly against the ground, producing as he went round the "Sand-walk" at Down, a rhythmical click which is with all of us a very...

Book Description
This volume is a reissuance of Darwin's autobiography, written in 1876 and first published posthumously in 1887. A new introduction by H. James Birx (anthropology, Canisius College) provides a contemporary perspective on Darwin's research and theories.

Book Description
Excerpt from Charles Darwin: His Life Told in an Autobiographical Chapter, and in a Selected Series of His Published Letters, Edited by His Son, Francis Darwin IN preparing this volume, which is practically an abbre viation of the Life and Letters my aim has been to retain as far as possible the personal parts of those volumes. To render this feasible, large numbers of the more purely scientific letters are omitted, or represented by the citation of a few sentences.* In certain periods of my father's life the scientific and the personal elements run a parallel course, rising and falling together in their degree of inter est. Thus the writing of the Origin of Species, and its publication, appeal equally to the reader who follows my father's career from interest in the man, and to the natural ist who desires to know something of this turning point in the history of Biology. This part of the story has there fore been told with nearly the full amount of available detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
