Darwin, Charles. [Frederick Burkhardt et al., eds.] - The correspondence of Charles Darwin. Vol. I-XI (1821-1863).Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1985-1999 (all 1st ed.); all vols. 600-1038pp., frontispiece portrait/illustration, index, biographical register, bibliography, endnotes, notes per letter, bl-wh illustrations, 8vo, uniform dark-green cloth w. gilt spine title, dustwrapper.
