Excerpt from Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences Darwin and Wallace, which was to have been a comparative study of their literary and scientific writings, with an estimate of the present position of the theory of Natural Selection as an adequate explanation of the process of organic evolution. Wal lace had promised to give as much assistance as possible in select ing the material without which the task on such a scale would obviously have been impossible. Alas! Soon after the agree ment with the publishers was signed and in the very month that the plan of the work was to have been shown to Wallace, his hand was suddenly stilled in death; and the book remains un written. But as the names of Darwin and Wallace are in a separable even by the scythe of time, a slight attempt is here made, in the first sections of Part I. And Part II., to take note? Of their ancestry and the diversities and similarities 1n their re spective characters and environments - social and educational; to mark the chief characteristics of their literary works and the more salient conditions and events which led them, independ ently, to the idea of Natural Selection.

This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1916 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1.' is a collection of correspondence between Wallace and other scientists, including Herbert Spencer. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.
