| | 1 | Author: | Darwin, Charles, 1809-1882 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | An Annotated Calendar of the Letters of Charles Darwin in the Library of the American Philosophical Society
| | | | Dates: | 1799-1882 | | | | Abstract: | One of the most important natural historians in nineteenth-century Britain, Charles Darwin provided the first compelling mechanism to account for organismal evolutionary change. In at least two letters in the Darwin collection, the naturalist reflects upon the nature of race. In a letter dated 8 October [1845], Darwin questions whether there is a connection between race and susceptibility to different types of lice. In a letter dated 25 October [1859], Darwin dispels other scientists' claims that there are several species of man. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.D25 | | | | Extent: | 2.5 Linear Feet | | | | |

| | | | Dates: | 1840-1865 | | | | Abstract: | Among his many interests, Foulke was concerned with the colonization of West Africa for settlement of ex-slaves. As an agent for the Pennsylvania Colonization Society, Foulke kept a valuable diary of his activities in 1852. Colonization also appears as a theme in his correspondence with Edward Everett (1794-1865), Elliott Cresson (1796-1854), John H. B. Latrobe (1803-1891), William Francis Lynch (1801-1865), and William McLain (1855-1857), among others. Many of the above letters have been digitized, and a gallery to promote the study of the colonization cause in the Foulke Papers can be found here: https://diglib.amphilsoc.org/gallery-colonization-foulke | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.F826 | | | | Extent: | 3.75 Linear Feet | | | | |
