Throughout 1869 Darwin continued to collect data for The Descent of Man and Expression of the Emotions.
Frederick Burkhardt (1912–2007) was the founder of the Charles Darwin Correspondence Project, and the associated high profile book series The Correspondence of Charles Darwin (Cambridge University Press, 1985–the present). He was President of the American Council of Learned Societies from 1957 to 1974, and in 2003 was awarded the American Philosophical Society Thomas Jefferson Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement in the Arts, Humanities, or Social Sciences.
From reviews of earlier volumes: 'Nothing in recent history of
science quite tops the achievement of the volumes of Darwin
correspondence. It is our own Human Genome Project.' Annals of
Science
'Readers of earlier volumes will probably already be addicted,
since no aspect of Darwin's life, work, or writing, is ever dull.'
Human Genetics
'… a superb series … beautifully produced, beautifully readable,
efficiently indexed, supportively but not gossipily annotated.' The
Times Literary Supplement
'Every now and then … publishing and academe work together to
produce books so splendid that it seems ungrateful not to acquire
them: this promises to be another such.' The Guardian
'… this authoritative work is a model of scholarship in both its
comprehensiveness and supporting documentation which provides a
rich source of background, biographical and bibliographical
detail.' The Naturalist
'These volumes are indeed treasures of high scholarship … every
real science library needs this series.' Trends in Ecology and
Evolution
