Despite struggling with a recurrent illness, he continued to write on geologicy, and published notes on the use of microscopes. Three more children, Elizabeth, Francis, and Leonard, were born during this period, but the death of Darwin's father in 1848 left the family well-provided for. </p> </div> </div> </div> <a href="letters/darwins-life-letters/darwin-letters-1847-1850-microscopes-and-barnacles" class="campl-primary-cta">Read more</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="campl-content-container campl-side-padding"> <hr class="campl-teaser-divider"/></div> </td> <td class="col-2 featured-grid"> <div class="campl-content-container campl-vertical-padding node node-page" about="/letters/darwins-life-letters/darwin-letters-1837-1843-london-years-natural-selection" typeof="foaf:Document"> <div class="campl-vertical-teaser campl-teaser campl-teaser-border campl-content-container campl-side-padding"> <div class="campl-content-container campl-vertical-teaser-img"> <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-file field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even"> <div id="file-168" class="file file-image file-image-jpeg"> <div class="content"><a href="/sites/default/files/DARWIN-E-01-01218.jpg"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="campl-scale-with-grid" src="/sites/default/files/DARWIN-E-01-01218.jpg" width="1000" height="1250" alt="Emma Darwin" title="Emma Darwin"/></a> <div class="field field-name-field-file-caption field-type-text field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even">Emma Darwin with Leonard Darwin as a child</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-file-identifier field-type-text field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even">CUL DAR 225: 93</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-credit field-type-text field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even">Cambridge University Library</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="campl-content-container campl-vertical-teaser-txt"> <h3 class="campl-teaser-title"><a href="letters/darwins-life-letters/darwin-letters-1837-1843-london-years-natural-selection">Darwin in letters, 1837-1843: The London years to 'natural selection'</a></h3> <span property="dc:title" content="Darwin in letters, 1837–1843: The London years to 'natural selection'" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span><span property="sioc:num_replies" content="0" datatype="xsd:integer" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span> <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"> <p>The seven-year period following Darwin's return to England from the <em>Beagle</em> voyage was one of extraordinary activity and productivity in which he became recognised as a naturalist of outstanding ability, as an author and editor, and as a professional man with official responsibilities in several scientific organisations.

Using letters are the main source for much of his research he amassed data, carried out breeding experiments, and struggled with statistical analysis. Several of his experiments: seeds would not germinate; beans failed to cross; newly-hatched molluscs refused to do what he hoped. Most significant in terms of Darwin's future, however, was the beginning of his correspondence with Alfred Russel Wallace.</p> </div> </div> </div> <a href="letters/darwins-life-letters/darwin-letters-1856-1857-big-book" class="campl-primary-cta">Read more</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="campl-content-container campl-side-padding"> <hr class="campl-teaser-divider"/></div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-40" class="block block-block campl-content-container"> <div> <p><a class="twitter-timeline" data-chrome="" data-height="500" data-widget-id="694267160961617924" href="https://twitter.com/MyDearDarwin">Tweets by @MyDearDarwin</a></p> <script> !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); </script> <p></p> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-41" class="block block-block campl-content-container"> <div> <div class="fb-page" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/Darwin-Correspondence-Project-155674001137324/?fref=ts" data-tabs="timeline" data-width="500" data-small-header="true" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="false"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="campl-column3 campl-secondary-content"> <div class="region region-sidebar"> <div id="block-block-4" class="block block-block"> <div class="campl-content-container"> <p>Read and search the full texts of more than 15,000 of Charles Darwin's letters.
