The Case of Patrick Matthew

Patrick Matthew published ‘On Naval Timber and Arboriculture’ in 1831. There were a few positive reviews but they were somewhat tepid in their praise. Only a couple reviewers happened to notice something else that Matthew had mentioned in his book. A certain passage that appeared in the book’s appendix. This passage would would later catch the eyes of Charles Darwin.
