To many this may seem an impossibility; but those who knew my father will understand how it was not only possible, but natural. The autobiography bears the heading, 'Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character, ' and end with the following note: - \"Aug. 3, 1876. This sketch of my life was begun about May 28th at Hopedene (Mr. Hensleigh Wedgwood's house in Surrey.), and since then I have written for nearly an hour on most afternoons.\" It will easily be understood that, in a narrative of a personal and intimate kind written for his wife and children, passages should occur which must here be omitted; and I have not thought it necessary to indicate where such omissions are made. It has been found necessary to make a few corrections of obvious verbal slips, but the number of such alterations has been kept down to the minimum. - F.D.]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1st World Library - Literary Society","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46896109748375,"sku":"9781595400185","price":786.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781595400185.webp?v=1770356873","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-autobiography-of-charles-darwin-9781595400185","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
