The great Victorian naturalist Alfred Russel
Wallace travelled in the Malay Archipelago
between 1854 and 1862, observing and collecting
wildlife. It was on this famous journey from Sin-
gapore, among the islands of Indonesia, and as
far as New Guinea, that Wallace, pondering
deeply on varieties and species, independently
came up with the concept of natural selection
and wrote the fate fail letter to Darwin which
was to precipitate the publication of The Origin
of Species.
Wallace s famous account of his journey,
The Malay Archipelago, has become a classic work.
But a number of letters written by and to Wallace
during his journey survive, and they tell an
equally fascinating story, with an immediacy,
candour, and variety of tone that only private
correspondence can capture. The surviving
88 letters, some only discovered recently, are
collected here in a single volume for the first
time in a new, fully annotated transcription by
the Editors which clarifies various omissions.
Their research also resolves the much debated
question of when Darwin received Wallace s
essay on natural selection.
During this journey Wallace not only came
to formulate a theory of evolution by natural
selection but to identify the striking geographical
boundary between Asian and Australasian
species that divides these islands-now known
as the Wallace Line. The collection includes
letters to family and naturalist friends and
contacts, including Darwin, Bates, and Hooker.
The letters transport us to a past world at
the height of Empire; a world of imperialist
assumptions but also of intrepid travel in
remote lands, at a time of exhilarating
scientific discovery.
