About this work

Description

Letter from Charles Darwin to Galton. Darwin encloses his completed questionnaire on the faculty of visualising. He comments in his letter that he believes Galton should also consider the age of the respondent, as he can visualise the faces of schoolfriends not seen for sixty years more easily than new acquaintances.
