Abstract
THESE letters constitute a valuable addition to the pile of literature that has accumulated under the name of one of the most remarkable figures in the history of biology—Gregor Mendel; for we doubt if ever has so great a fame been built on the contents of a single short paper. The fact that this paper remained unknown from 1865, when it was published, until 1900, when it was rediscovered, is both the measure of how much Mendel was before his time and the reason for the uniqueness of the picture of him which presents itself to the eyes of most of us.
