DARWIN (CHARLES)
Footnotes
The card has been pasted into an album; when (and if) it is lifted, the name of the recipient will no doubt be revealed. The 1876 number of the journal in question contained at least three articles that may have been of interest to Darwin, namely Alphonse de Candolle, 'Sur la désignation de la direction des spires dans les plantes'; Émile Mer, 'Des effets de l'immersion sur les feuilles aériennes'; and Jacques Nicholas Ernst Germain de Saint-Pierre, 'L'evolution de l'espèce végétale'.
The album also includes (on the same page as the Darwin) an autograph signed envelope by Dickens to the Rev James White of Bonechurch, Isle of Wight, postmarked 6 February 1858 (originally enclosing a letter of 5 February, see the Pilgrim Edition); with a fragment by Christina Rossetti and other material.
