Buckland's studies paved the way for Charles Darwin's (1809-1882) development of evolutionary theory. Penned by Buckland's daughter, Elizabeth Oke Buckland Gordon almost forty years after his death, The Life and Correspondence provides a personal insight into Buckland's scientific endeavors. The work includes several illustrations, and its appendices include a list of positions held by Buckland and a comprehensive index of his publications.
Digitized content includes two illustrations, the first depicting a silhouette of the Buckland family and the second an engraving of a human skull surrounded by Ichthyosauri, a large extinct marine reptile species.
