Printed Material, Press Cuttings and Letters

Articles and reviews by Francis Galton published in Nature, and press cuttings from The Times, mainly constituting letters to the Editor from various correspondents.

This file originally contained a folder labelled "Memoirs by F. Galton Vol. VI", and three letters, from G J Allman, C Graham, and G A Spottiswoode respectively. The letters are pasted into the book Memoirs by F. Galton Vol. VII, and the descriptions for these letters can be found in GALTON/3/1/1. The book enclosing the letters has been re-bound and now shows the wrong volume number on the spine, reading "Vol. VII" instead of "Vol. VI".

Eight volumes of Galton's memoirs can be found in the Galton Laboratory book series (GL184 - GL191). The book, Memoirs by F. Galton Vol. VII (GL 190) into which the three letters are pasted remains a part of the Galton Laboratory book series, and is not catalogued here.

The papers are available at UCL Special Collections and Archives subject to the usual conditions of access to Archives and Manuscripts material, after the completion of a Reader's Undertaking.
