Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 2 of 2: A Record of Events and Opinions; With Facsimile Letters, Illustrations and Portraits Soon after I returned home, in the summer of 1862, Mr. Darwin invited me to come to Down for a night, where I had the great pleasure of seeing him in his quiet home, and in the midst of his family. A year or two later I spent a week-end with him in company With Bates, Jenner Weir, and a few other naturalists; but my most frequent interviews with him were when he spent a few weeks with his brother, Dr. Erasmus Dar win, in Queen Anne Street, which he usually did every year when he was well enough, in order to see his friends and col lect information for his various works. On these occasions I usually lunched with him and his brother, and sometimes one other visitor, and had a little talk on some of the matters specially interesting him. He also sometimes called On me in St. Mark's Crescent for a quiet talk or to see some of my collections. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
