The Life and Letters of George John Romanes, M.A., LL.D., F.R.S.

George John Romanes and Ethel Duncan Romanes

A scientist's letters can be a life laid bare, and George John Romanes left a rich one. This memoir traces his boyhood, his Cambridge years, and his London and Oxford friendships, including his closeness to Darwin. Warm, intelligent, and full of the intellectual life of an age. A window into Victorian science through the man who studied animal minds. Read a naturalist's life in his own words.
