Now that #GrantAllen's "time is not quite so filled now with hack-work as formerly," he can enjoy using the telescope that "[#Darwin] and the other kind friends" bought for him.

What treasures {or horrors, as the case may sometimes be} might the Darwin Correspondence Project at #CambridgeUL reveal about your #C19 passions?

Working with Peter Morton's fabulous #bibliography of #GrantAllen's writings. The data on nonfiction shows an interesting pattern: The #CornhillMagazine prints an essay, and then two less-familiar-to-me #C19Periodicals--Living Age + Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Lit, Science, & Art--#reprint it. This happens 4x in 1890 alone.

Does this particular reprinting stream ring any bells? #Curious
