Recently I was fortunate enough to be in a small group who were invited
to a private showing of Darwin's papers at the university library in
Cambridge, England.

The curator very kindly let me take some photographs which I have put
up on the web here:

I found it fascinating, especially his "Marry, marry, marry QED"
musings.

No, John, that's envy you (and I) are feeling.
