WP - The Alfred Russel Wallace Correspondence Project

WP12
Publications by authors other than Wallace
[1790]-1914
Reprints, press cuttings, and ms copies of short works by author's other than A R Wallace, given
to or apparently collected by him, including poems, scientific papers and letters to the editor, on a
variety of subjects including botany, geology, politics and religion; many with annotations in his
hand; and related papers including correspondence.
Attempts to sort the papers by either date or author were frustrated by lack of one or the other or
both. Most authors and likely dates have been found and added after listing, so the list is in no
particular order.
