The Red Notebook
Last week, I finished reading volume 7 of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin, which deals with the years 1858–1859 (i.e. the lead-up to the publication of On the Origin of Species). As with all the other volumes in the series, it is a magnifient piece of research work, and a must-buy for any Darwin groupie.
Expect several posts over the next few weeks inspired by this fantastic book.

On this date in 2000, the Bank of England published a press release, announcing that Charles Darwin was to appear on the new £10 note. The Friends of Charles Darwin's campaign was officially over.
