Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences is a book written by James Marchant and published in 1916. The book is a collection of letters and personal accounts of the life and work of Alfred Russel Wallace, a British naturalist, explorer, and biologist who is best known for independently proposing the theory of evolution through natural selection, which he did at the same time as Charles Darwin. The book provides a detailed and intimate look into the life of Wallace, through his own words and those of his contemporaries. The letters included in the book cover a wide range of topics, from Wallace's early travels and adventures in South America and Southeast Asia, to his scientific discoveries and his relationships with other scientists and thinkers of his time. The book also includes reminiscences from people who knew Wallace personally, such as his son William and his close friend and fellow scientist, Henry Walter Bates. These accounts offer a unique perspective on Wallace's life and work, and shed light on the man behind the scientific achievements. Overall, Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science, natural history, or the life of one of the most important and influential scientists of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
