Only works containing important or large series of letters are included here. De Beer (in. No. 1595) gives about thirty further references to publications which contain one or a few letters, but his list is far from complete. The three basic biographical works, which contain many letters, have been treated separately above (Nos 1452,1548 & 1552). An authoritative list must await the publication of the projected Collected letters.
[Since this was written The correspondence of Charles Darwin (1985-) has appeared which has produced an authoritative list of all known letters as well as many volumes of transcribed correspondence enriched with superb editorial notes and appendices. JvW]
