The 230 letters in this inaugural volume of The Correspondence of John Tyndall chart Tyndall’s emergence into early adulthood, spanning from his arrival in Youghal in May 1840 as a civil assistant to his pseudonymous authorship of an open letter to the prime minister, Robert Peel, protesting the pay and conditions on the English Survey in August 1843.

Trade Review
“Correspondence projects like this one undoubtedly provide rich materials for future historians—and raise a host of new questions that we might not previously have even thought to ask.”
